Across from the Supreme Court, this newly renovated retail building is one of the more modern shopping malls in Singapore. It used to be a go-to place for gadgets, but now, it's become a hub for sustainability. The lush rooftop even has a garden with over 50 types of fruits and vegetables — a true urban jungle in the Civic District of the city.

This image was taken from the roof garden of Funan Mall, looking onto the Urban Farm and Supreme Court.
To get here, enter the Funan Mall on the corner of Coleman and Northbridge Road. Then, take the lift on the left of the entrance to level 7 where the Food Garden is located.
Upon exiting the lift, walk straight past an area where you'll find people resting on hammocks and then make a right turn to arrive at the photo location. The Urban Farm will be directly across the roof.
By public transportation:
- Closest station: City Hall (via East West Line or North South Line)
- Head southwest on North Bridge Rd toward Flag Rd
- Turn left onto Parliament Pl

Visit at night to find similar conditions.
Field tips
I recommend using a wide-angle lens for this image so you can incorporate the Supreme Court building, the rooftop garden across the way and the beautiful skyline of the Civic Ditrcit.
Try using a long shutter speed to capture the light trails from the cars down below on the street.
Bring along a tripod for night time photography. If you don't have a tripod, you could try to place your camera on the ledge of the roof to stabilize it — just make sure to be careful!

Do nearby
I highly recommend checking out the rest of the mall! There are retail shops, restaurants and they also have an indoor cycling studio. Make sure you venture to the other side of the rooftop so you can check out Urban Farm, too.
