Private clubs still in vogue
HAS the recent saga over members' club 1880 put you off joining one? If not, welcome to the, well, club as the exclusivity, curated programming, networking opportunities and community spirit they offer are still highly attractive to people who want to become their members. In this week's BT Lifestyle, we look at the continued appeal of such clubs and how, despite 1880's woes, it's still a profitable business to be in. So much so that existing clubs such as 67 Pall Mall and the Mandala Club are on an expansion path, with new brands contemplating making their entry into the market. In Design, we discover how robots have replaced bricklayers in housebuilding, with a peek at the first 3D printed house in Singapore. The brainchild of architect Lim Koon Park, the Bukit Timah detached property is a showcase of technology, yet at its core – a real, liveable family home. Meanwhile in Dining, two-Michelin-starred restaurant Thevar has moved to a new home in Mohamed Sultan. We get a taste of what it has to offer.

Live long and well
It used to be that the challenge was to live a long life. We may have got what we wished for, except that living longer doesn't necessarily mean living well. In Singapore, life expectancy has soared to around 84 years. But, the number of years one lives in generally good health is only 74. This suggests that the last decade of life is often spent managing chronic illness and physical frailty. Can we extend our healthspan – as opposed to lifespan – beyond 74? Longevity doctors believe one absolutely can, so long as one cultivates science-backed habits and strategies that actually work. Don't miss this week's BT Lifestyle as we show you how.

Male bonding in Singapore
What do men do when they get together? Throw some axes, destroy furniture, climb walls or join a choir? MALE bonding used to be simple affairs, like a round of beer or game of football. But as life gets more complicated, so do the ways in which men forge friendships and build support networks while navigating a society where the rules of masculinity are being challenged or even upended. As men find themselves under immense pressure to succeed professionally and personally in Singapore's hustle culture, their emotional well-being is stretched to the limit, say wellness counsellors. In this week's BT Lifestyle, we look at how men are turning to non-traditional approaches to let off steam, express themselves and connect with others. Meanwhile, in Design, take a look at the transformation of a narrow, old shophouse in Joo Chiat into a spacious, multi-generation home. And in the Arts, we visit a stunning new exhibition featuring the works of much loved artist Chua Mia Tee and his wife, Lee Boon Ngan, whom few know was a pioneering female artist in her own right. Finally in Dining, we get a taste of modern Indian food at the new restaurant Meh'r by Inderpal, helmed by former Masterchef winner Inderpal Singh. For all this and more, don't miss this week's BT Lifestyle.
