While nature has inspired many man-made creations , the developers of Eco Sanctuary take that concept to new heights with the development of a luxurious condominium that attempts to emulate the ecology of its surroundings.

The muse for Eco Sanctuary's landscape design is the rich biodiversity of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, while the architectural form of the three towers is a nod to the adjoining Chestnut Nature Reserve and the nearby Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.

Ecologically-themed gardens wrap around the residences, including the Papillon Path, Sunbird Walk, Dragonfly Walk and Lotus Creek. This nature corridor culminates at the Butterfly Gate, which links to the great outdoors. The landscape is designed to integrate with the adjacent park and leads to a cycling and jogging trail as well as the Central Catchment Reserve.

True to its green inspiration, the Eco Sanctuary aims to achieve the BCA Greenmark Platinum standard that will not only help you save on utility bills but also promote sustainability. Some of these features include lifts with a sleep mode, rainwater harvesting and drip irrigation with rain sensor and motion sensors.

The three towers comprise 483 apartments of one, two, three and four-bedroom units featuring high ceilings at 3.4 metres. The condominium will incorporate resort-style recreational facilities, including sky terraces, a sky bridge with a panoramic view, a gymnasium, tennis courts, a swimming pool, a clubhouse and alfresco decks. The sky terraces at each tower offer you gourmet dining rooms, cocktail bars and massage spas for private parties. Hammocks and cabanas are also available for those who just want to relax.

The clubhouse, meanwhile, is planned around a hexagonal sculptural pool on the inside. From the outside, the entire structure appears to float above the swimming pool.

Chef Laura designed the Just Salad menu from front to back, creating twenty-two unique dressings and thirteen enticing combinations of toppings now known as Just Salad's Chef Designed Salads.

Every detail of Just Salad was thought out carefully. You will enjoy everything from the food to the music to the environmentally friendly bowls. Shipments of fresh ingredients are delivered every morning, so you know that you are getting the freshest possible meal.

Enjoy the natural seclusion of island living with the future Funtasy Islands.

Located 16km from Sentosa Cove, Funtasy Island will be well-served by a world-class marina as well as it's own dedicated Immigration and Customs. They will also provide a luxury yacht/ferry service from Singapore's HarbourFront Centre in just 20 minutes.

Envisioned to be the world’s largest eco theme park, Funtasy Island will be spread over 328 hectares of pristine tropical islands and will be home to a limited number of villas carefully designed to sit harmoniously with the unspoiled natural environment.

Away from the private enclave of residences, there will be many specially designed spaces that offer worlds of fun from dawn to dusk. The outgoing can enjoy nature trails, aquaculture, adventure and water sports. Children and the young at heart will be charmed by famous characters and there will be shopping, dining and entertainment for everyone in the Wave Promenade.

Comprising six Indonesian islets, the Island Resort will be home to an eco-park with nature trails, 350 villas, three four-star hotels and an immigration facility. A highlight is the heart-shaped islet, Love Island, which will have a 1,000-pax banquet hall, a wedding chapel and themed landscaping.

Phase one of the resort, which includes the two cruise-ship hotels, villas and the wedding chapel, will be completed in 2013. The entire project will span 15 years.

To the south west of Funtasy Island off Batam and just 16km away from Singapore, built on the seabed like the traditional Kelong, will lie the AquaVilla.

Imagination, originality and a love for Nature are the roots of AquaVilla’s architecture. Each villa has thoughtful and ingenious design features to cultivate an intimate interaction with the oceanic environment around you. One is the living area’s wall panels, that you can slide away to transform your home into a completely open villa filled with sea breeze and light. Another is the circular staircase that leads both upstairs to the bedrooms and down below the villa. This staircase actually leads right down to the seabed that is then only revealed at low tide, offering you an entirely new space to explore. Just some of the exciting ways AquaVilla will shape your experience with Nature.

Inspired by the delicate outline of a jewel necklace, AquaVilla has an intricate arrangement of over 108 villas that offer everyone a lovely, lingering view. Looking out, you have the spectacular infinity of sky and sea. Gazing in, you have the serenity of the landscaped lagoon, all for the exclusive few in AquaVilla.

Zara will be opening a massive new store at The Shoppes Marina Bay Sands.

The Spanish clothing and accessories retailer is based in Arteixo, Galicia and was founded in 1975 by Amancio Ortega.

It is claimed that Zara needs just two weeks to develop a new product and get it to stores, compared to the six-month industry average and launches around 10,000 new designs each year. Zara has resisted the industry-wide trend towards transferring fast fashion production to low-cost countries. Its most unusual strategy is its policy of zero advertising; the company prefers to invest a percentage of revenues in opening new stores instead.

Zara stores offer men's clothing and women's clothing, each of these subdivided in lower garment, upper garment, shoes, cosmetics and complements, as well as children's clothing (Zara Kids).
