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

.
