Located in the heart of Singapore’s prime Orchard Road precinct, 8 Saint Thomas offers the epitome of high-end, urban living to its homeowners. Responding to this vision, the architectural design elevates its rectilinear form with artful geometric lines; lending the façade character and setting it apart from its counterparts.
The design scheme also carefully considered site planning with the aim of maximizing living space and the view of the city skyline; both of which, are key to creating value for both client and homeowners. To ensure an unobstructed view of the Orchard Road and Downtown cityscape, the residential towers are located to both ends of the site. This is complemented by generous bay windows in each unit, which also add a sense of spaciousness within the apartment.
Programmatically, the space enclosed between the twin blocks provided the opportunity to create a luxurious and private pocket for communal amenities such as the swimming pool, an accompanying landscaped deck and lounge area. Shared spaces for residents to gather and/or host guests are extended upwards with five sky terraces vertically stacked in one block and six in the other block; each featuring lush greenery and designed with different themes.
The award-winning project is Green Mark (Gold) certified for its use of energy-efficient lift and lighting systems, low-e glass, rainwater harvesting, home automation system and an electric car charging facility.
