Geometrically aligned yellow, orange and red-colored panels make this façade pop from the surrounding color scheme of this Singapore shopping district. Moreover, the staircase behind the panels caught my attention and figuring out how to get my model there was a fun exploration on its own!

How to get there

This image was taken from the 16th floor of the building directly across Queen St, looking southeast onto the colorful panels at Bugis+.
By MRT:
- Closest station: Bugis (East West Line and Downtown Line)
- Take Exit C at Bugis Junction
After leaving the MRT station, cross Victoria Street and you'll see the Bugis+ shopping mall in front of you. Choose to walk trough the mall or around it to get to Queen Street. From there, you'll already see the colorful façade on the exterior of the building.
Although the panels are easy to spot from ground level, you'll have to get to a higher level on the opposing building across the street. Enter the corner apartment building next to the little car park and take the elevator to a high floor (I suggest level 16). After leaving the elevator, turn left to get an unobstructed view of the façade. Refer to the GPS coordinates for the exact location from where I took the featured photograph.
If you wish to include a model, let her/him enter Bugis+ Mall. Once inside, turn left and follow the corridor to get to the elevator. Take a ride to the highest floor. From there, look for a sign guiding to the washroom. Follow the hallway and pass by the washroom to get to an emergency exit. Since it's not locked, your model can go through the emergency door and will end up at the staircase. Take the same way back after you are satisfied with your images.
