DESIGN
Paying homage to a storied past
In an ever changing world, 21 Carpenter recognizes the importance of staying connected to our cultural heritage; bridging the past with the present, and cultivating a sense of belonging. As we breath new life into 21 Carpenter’s storied history, we’ve carefully woven poignant verses from vintage remittance letters, into the elegant design of the aluminium facade.

THE ART OF THOUGHTFULNESS
At 21 Carpenter, we believe Thoughtfulness is an art form that can be cultivated and perfected.
Playfully referencing the poetically crafted letters of the original remittance house patrons, we express our ethos of thoughtfulness each day through the mantra “Thoughtfully Yours”.
More than just an expression, “Thoughtfully Yours” is a philosophy that unites our team in dedication to our guests. So to all who walk through our doors, our promise is to uphold the selfless thoughtfulness of our forefathers in all that we do.
