The first Singapore outpost of the Korean postpartum brand has filled every suite, mirroring its Seoul flagship, which sold out six months ahead.
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 June 2026 – DeRAMA Singapore, the first Korean confinement centre to open in the country and operated by Sserenity, is now fully booked. It offers residential postpartum stays within Artyzen Singapore on Orchard Road, where newborns are looked after by registered and enrolled nurses. A two-week stay is priced from S$35,000 in the standard suite and S$50,000 in the Garden Suite.
DeRAMA, Singapore's First Korean Confinement Centre Managed by Sserenity, Reaches Full Capacity
In South Korea, postpartum confinement is a long-standing tradition, and booking a stay well before the birth is common. The brand's Seoul flagship is reserved months in advance, with a waitlist that continues to grow. A similar shift is underway locally, where confinement centres have grown as an alternative to live-in nannies, offering parents a team of trained staff to support them and their newborns. DeRAMA sits at the premium end of that shift, with its suites gradually filling after opening.
A Reputation Built Over Decades
The brand itself is far from new. DeRAMA has cared for more than 10,000 mothers and newborns over nearly two decades, and Singapore is its first location beyond South Korea. Its clientele there has included couples such as actors Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, singer Taeyang and actor Min Hyo-rin, and actors Lee Byung-hun and Lee Min-jung.
Inside the Centre
The residential floor of the luxury confinement centre in Singapore is self-contained, with no public access. The nurses are on site around the clock, and meals are prepared fresh by Artyzen's chefs and adjusted to each stage of recovery. DeRAMA also offers prenatal massage and postnatal massage as part of its postpartum care services in Singapore.
"What we are seeing is a change in how recovery is understood," said Danny Woo, Chief Financial Officer of Sserenity (DeRAMA Singapore). "Mothers here are no longer treating the weeks after birth as time to simply get through. They are choosing to plan for them with the care they would give any important decision, and that is reflected in the demand."

The method assembles most of a structure on land before it is filled with concrete at sea and is designed to double as a habitat for marine life.
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 June 2026 - Singapore-based Hydrantula, will unveil the solution over Singapore International Water Week 2026.
Singapore company Hydrantula develops a modular way to build coastal protection faster and at a lower cost.
As Singapore and its neighbours plan decades of investment to defend low-lying coasts against rising seas, a local company is proposing a different way to build the structures that do the work − assembling most of the structures on land and finishing the final works in the water.
A coastline problem with no single answer
Building on land, finishing at sea
The system uses a lightweight, permanent formwork built from standard HDPE pipes joined by moulded plastic nodes. The frame is assembled onshore − the company estimates around 90 per cent of the work is done on land − then lowered into position and filled with reinforced concrete pumped from the bottom up, displacing the water inside. Once the concrete hardens, the result is a monolithic reinforced-concrete structure within a plastic shell.
Because the geometry is set by the pipework rather than by custom moulds, the company says the same family of parts can form a range of structures, from floating breakwaters and seawalls to jetty foundations, mooring ramps and terraced, beach-retaining shoreline structures.
Hydrantula says the approach can cut construction time by roughly two to three times, and cost to around a third of conventional methods, for equivalent reinforced-concrete structures. It also estimates the life-cycle carbon of its structures at about 5 tonnes of CO2 per metre over 60 years, against roughly 25 tonnes for conventional reinforced concrete, based on the company's own assessment to ISO 14040/14044. These are design targets and company estimates rather than independently certified figures.
Designed to host marine life
The open frame is intended to let wave energy pass through rather than reflect it and does not seal the seabed beneath a solid foundation. Over time, the submerged plastic surfaces are colonised by marine organisms, so the structure can also function as an artificial reef − an approach in line with the "hybrid" coastal solutions, combining hard structures with nature, that researchers in Singapore are actively studying. The company targets a service life of more than 60 years.
"Most of the cost, the risk and the environmental disturbance in marine construction comes from working in the water. If you can do the bulk of the work on land and keep the disturbance at sea short, the economics and the footprint both change. We are not trying to out-build nature − we are trying to build with it."
Still to be proven at scale
The technology is at an early commercial stage. Hydrantula has proposals and pilot discussions under way in Singapore, elsewhere in Southeast Asia and in California, and is pursuing research collaboration with Singapore academic partners to test its structural performance and ecological behaviour under local conditions. Its performance and durability claims have yet to be verified in long-term field use.
The company will present the system at Singapore International Water Week 2026 (SIWW2026 booth number: L1-A23), which runs from 15 to 18 June at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands.
