Crawford Court’s Rooftop: A Quiet Spot You Didn’t Know About

#springitinerary The level 3 rooftop garden at Crawford Court near Lavender MRT pleasantly surprised me with how spacious and peaceful it is. It’s a wide-open space that overlooks the surrounding buildings, mostly painted in soft greys with gentle hints of maroon and baby pink. On bright days, the colors feel soothing, but when the skies turn grey and it rains, the whole area takes on a more muted, calm vibe that’s actually kind of comforting in its own way. Being up there brought back memories of the old Rochor Centre before it was demolished. The rooftop garden shares that same quiet charm—the mix of subtle colors, the sense of community, and the understated personality of the space. It’s not flashy or in-your-face, but it has a soulful character that makes you want to just pause, breathe, and enjoy the moment. There are plenty of cozy spots to sit and relax, making it a great place to hang out with friends, enjoy a casual picnic, or simply have some peaceful alone time while watching the city go by below. It’s easily accessible and open to the public, which makes it a perfect little hideaway right in the heart of Lavender. What I love most is how this rooftop garden feels like a hidden gem—somewhere that changes mood with the weather but always manages to offer a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether it’s under soft sunlight or a moody, overcast sky, it’s a refreshing spot that invites you to slow down and soak in the simple beauty around you.
