8 Saint Thomas Walk

Date of completion
2018
8 St Thomas takes inspiration from painter Mondrian, a design threa
d
subtly woven through the building, from the asymmetrical geometric
shapes on the glass facade to details like the Cubist GROHE
Eurocub
e
faucets. The development won the Best Condo Architectural Design
(Singapore) Award 2018. The exterior spaces are multi-layered areas
with waterfalls, pools and garden trails, and hanging terraces planted
with lush greenery visible from the streets below. The structure of the
design allows spectacular views for each of the 250 apartments, with
bay windows used to increase the feeling of space and light.
Residents can also enjoy the lifestyle offered by on-site gyms, pool
s
and even barbeque areas. The developer, Bukit Sembawang Estates
Limited, used local
firm DP Architects to ensure the project was closely
connected to the city around it – the show apartments feature designs
by local interior designers Janet McGlennon Interiors, 2nd Edition and
Design Basis, all of which create a feeling of modern elegance for th
e
residents. The design was also awarded the Green Mark Gold certifica-
tion, thanks to features like energy-efficient lighting and lift systems,
rainwater harvesting and electric car charging facilities
.
