\nThe \u201cart of sophistication\u201d and design in harmony, every element of the architectural design of 8 St Thomas inspires luxury condo living that feels contemporary, lifestyle-friendly and aesthetically stunning. Developer Bukit Sembawang Estates brings over 50 years of experience to the fore with eye-catching aplomb, presenting a visually stunning development with an art-inspired fa\u00e7ade in Singapore\u2019s iconic Orchard Street.
\nWinning Best Luxury Condo Architectural Design at the 8th\u00a0annual PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Singapore)\u00a0in October 2018, 8 St Thomas is an expression of a creative condo development. Bukit Sembawang utilises design to create the property\u2019s best features and enhance the luxurious, city-living experience for residents.
\nDP Architects were involved with the rare freehold project, which boasts 250 units of one to four bedrooms, including two penthouses, in two towers set in almost a hectare of greenery. Stylish interiors by Janet McGlennon and stunning Ong & Ong landscaping seamlessly complement the architectural features.
\nJudge Henry Woon, director of environmental design consultants Atelier Ten, has a background in leading award-winning projects and renowned, standout developments. Part of this year\u2019s judging panel, he praises the artistic architectural elements of the luxury condo. \u201cThe architects\u2019 design of the exteriors of 8 St Thomas was inspired by the great painter Piet Mondrian, who was one of the key 20th century artists of abstract style and favoured simple, geometric elements.\u00a0The wonderful inspiration gave this project an exquisite and timeless look, symmetric, but not square.\u201d
\nMondrian architecture creates a strong fa\u00e7ade design using glass and balconies that look like drawers pulled out of the sleek structure to connect residents with the outdoors. Strategically positioned units, some with bay and corner windows, plus spacious living spaces with balconies are all designed to make the most of views over the city and the Marina Bay skyline. Within the abstract-art design philosophy are well thought-out architectural principles.
\nCommunal sky gardens and sky terraces with dining facilities, along with fitness and chillout pods, offer further proof of Bukit Sembawang\u2019s intention to utilise the architectural design of 8 St Thomas to create the art of living luxuriously with nature. Meanwhile, the artistic lines of the towers express a sense of evolved city living in District 9.
\nBeyond the fa\u00e7ade, architectural design reaches out into social spaces too, with every element of 8 St Thomas fitting together as agilely as a Mondrian composition. The tropical-inspired waterfalls complement the geometry of the fa\u00e7ade, with the green spaces, lap pool and garden trail adding a sense of movement and life to the architectural concept. The result is a coherent living environment with residential spaces invigorated with rich foliage. While art may be considered a way of life, the way of life at 8 St Thomas is directed by the impressive architectural design, set within a luxury framework.
\nEven the contemporary style of the interiors\u2019 built-in features and elongated living-area design complement the architectural vision of creating a feeling of flowing yet seamlessly ordered space.
