Try to be very quiet,

and listen for the sound

of gears and moving water.

Listen for the sound of your heart.

Be thankful that you are here,

swallowed with all hope,

where you can rest and wait.

We want the home to extend beyond one’s unit.

With this vision, we designed Empress to nurture
the soul, even indoors. For general physical fitness,
residents have access to a fitness hall and dance studio.
The presence of a residents’ lounge, function hall,
reading room, daycare, and pamper room leave little
to be desired. Small nooks around the indoor space
give one enough privacy to zone in.
