Introduction to Emerald of Katong
846 Units in Six Blocks of 18 to 21 Storeys
Peranakan Shophouse Motifs and a Quilt-Patterned Landscape

The design draws on the Peranakan shophouses of Katong, with motifs inspired by them woven into the development, and the landscape translates the patchwork of Peranakan quilts into a tapestry of water, plants, decks and pavilions. The six towers, with glass facades, are oriented mainly north and south for ventilation and cross-wind, and stand on an elevated landscape deck over the basement car park.

Each band is set out, with its drawings, in the Emerald of Katong floor plans for all 44 layouts, and 360 tours of four show units are on the Emerald of Katong virtual tour page.
