Eight brands Eden designed by Heatherwick Studio and developed by Swire Properties in Singapore

Eight created the identity for Eden, Swire Properties’ first ultra-luxury residential project in Singapore.

Located adjacent to the prestigious Tanglin Club at the highly sought-after District 10, Eden was designed by world-renowned Thomas Heatherwick of Heatherwick Studio.

Eight was tasked with creating a name and visual identity that complemented Heatherwick Studio’s first residential project in Asia, which is punctuated by iconic hanging balcony centrepieces featuring hand-picked tropical greenery. The name Eden is a meditation on the beginnings of life, reaching back to the story of the Garden of Eden itself. It is a metaphor for creation and abundance, deeply rooted in nature and inspired by Singapore’s vision of a “City in a Garden”.

The visual identity developed by Eight echoes this idea of growth and draws directly from the architectural facade of the project. The logo emulates the iconic lush balconies and shell shaped form, and is paired with a forward-thinking typeface marking the building as an icon for the future. The colour palette is inspired by lush foliage as well as the earthy tones of the project, conveying a premium and eco-conscious aesthetic.

Chris Fjelddahl, Partner, says, “While it’s a rare opportunity to design Swire Properties’ first residential brand in the nation, what makes it even more special is working with the Heatherwick Studio team, led by Thomas, to bring the concept of Eden – which represents natural unspoilt beauty – to life through immersive storytelling and visual design.”
