Casa's A Real Home

Casa Desa above and below ground>






Casa Desa’s been slowly flourishing. We’ve got a laundry service shop now, although I think they outsource the work as we didn’t spot any washing machines in the tiny premises. And most noticeably, the swimming pool has become the hang-out area for the residents. With lots of greenery around us, good barbecue facilities and a nature-themed pool layout it all looks homely enough.

I ventured down on with my new Panasonic Lumix camera, underwater housing and all, and took some pix. They turned our great. Nim was in her element – she loves the pool – and some a fellow committee member turned up with her daughter. I even managed to grab some priceless pix of a little maintenance problem (Faber Management take note!). But simply put, it was a great day and the shots turned out well.

What we next need is a proper cafĂ© and perhaps a mini-mart. But let’s hope we use our creative imagination and put up a professional-looking business. With 5 years of experience in the branding/advertising industry I hereby offer my services free of charge to any fellow Casa Desa/Taman Desa resident submitting a proposal to management.

That’s right, you it heard it – free! I’ll help design the brand identity for your business and design the environmental signage that goes around the premises to make it look good and gel with Casa Desa. If you get the proposal then fine. I’ll might help design the menu too.

Casa Desa’s a great place. With the right effort it could turn out into a wonderful condo with an enviable reputation. But getting the image right is a crucial start. More to update!
