Colin Seah, founder of Ministry of Design, remembers clearly the lightbulb moment for the design of Citi Wealth Hub at 268 Orchard Road. He was shown the site which has a soaring glass-lined atrium
, which inspired his idea for a banking conservatory. Opened in December 2020, Citi Wealth Hub is dedicated to its Citigold and Citigold Private Client customers. Citibank Singapore received design proposals from architectural firms across the region. "As our first time designing for a bank, we had no preconceived notions about what the space should be," says Mr Seah, who's famed for designing hospitality projects.
