Our Brand
The “Kinsfolk” brand is derived from the word “Kin”, which literally means “family”. It is this relentless spirit of treating every partner, resident or family member, like one of our own that anchor everything we do.
Our logo encapsulates the essence of a traditional Chinese “Siheyuan”, symbolizing harmony and filial piety through its inward-focused layout, spatial hierarchy, and symbolic elements that reinforce traditional Chinese values of family unity and respect for elders. It features a stylized, enclosed courtyard formed by interlocking geometric shapes, representing a protective, family-centered community that aligns with our mission to create retirement communities where seniors thrive with grace and connection.
Our Vision
To reimagine senior living as an exquisite tapestry of bespoke well-being, where discerning design and heartfelt connection celebrate each resident’s life story.
