An oasis in the heart of Singapore’s upscale Orchard Road, set to become an iconic landmark of residential splendour surrounded by greenery. Bukit Sembawang Estates Pte Ltd harmonises the ‘art of sophistication’, tranquillity, stylish interiors and sumptuously spacious abodes to create 8 St Thomas; an exceptional and unique condo development and a rare freehold opportunity for purchasers to own an exquisite slice of Singaporean real-estate beauty.
Adding to the twin-tower, the 250-unit condominium’s glamorous appeal is a spectacular Best Luxury Condo win at the 8th annual PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Singapore) in October 2018. Bukit Sembawang harnesses over 50 years of pioneering property development experience to reimagine lifestyle-enhancing homes that fit beautifully with the vibrant setting of this exclusive residential enclave that includes the St Thomas Walk loop.
Designed to strike a dramatic pose against the city skyline, with the talents of DP Architects achieving artistic geometric lines, 8 St Thomas creates an immediate impression of elegance and well-being, according to Lin Wenhui, this year’s newly appointed Property Awards judging panel Chairperson and Founding Director at award-winning SPARK Architects. “A prime located high-rise property with a bespoke “Mondrian” inspired façade, generous balconies and extensive landscaping, 8 St Thomas is a sanctuary in the heart of District 9 in Singapore.”
Vertical sky gardens and green sky terraces make a statement of luxury living, offering an eco-certified build with 1-4 bedrooms, 4-bedroom dual-key properties as well as penthouses; between 441-2,659 sq. ft. Meanwhile, 8 St Thomas inspires a ‘world-at-your-feet’ experience amidst a one-hectare plot of lush landscaping by Ong & Ong, with units designed to make the most of soaring million-dollar cityscape views.
Luxury living in Singapore is epitomised by well-thought-out outdoor spaces almost as much as interiors, with Bukit Sembawang bringing a graceful design ethos to the development. A garden trail invites inhabitants to relax in nature and take a stroll in peaceful surroundings with fitness areas and a playground. In unison, the lap pool, freeform swimming pool with in-water loungers, whirlpool and waterfall feature reflect this deluxe living environment.
Within the extraordinarily designed units located at 8 St Thomas, with either marble and timber floors, are balconies in most, built-in units plus concealed air-con creating a sense of seamless space. International branded appliances, muted palettes as well as fine furnishings and quality finishes, plus the creativity of three interior designers, ensure the condo units exude the luxe factor and promote a stylish yet functional contemporary design philosophy for modern urban living.
Interior designers Janet McGlennon’s vision extends the indoor space to connect with the skyline and watery horizon views, with 2nd Edition producing a luxuriously natural interior with ceramic pendant lighting and big slabs of marble elongating the living spaces, along with the use of bay windows and hanging shelf features; whilst Design Basis also adds their creative expression and input. At 8 St Thomas, luxury is defined as a design concept that embraces style that is all about sophisticated substance too.
