The TE14 Orchard Station serves as an interchange station, linking the North-South Line (NSL) with the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL). It is located underground within a URA future sale site, and will eventually be incorporated as part of and be connected to the future development to be built there.

The design brief called for the station to integrate seamlessly with the existing NSL station and adjacent ION and Wheelock Place malls, yet still establish itself as a unique and distinct transport hub within the premier Orchard Road shopping district.

To maximise connectivity and interfacing with its catchment area, Orchard Station has five entrances spread along Orchard Boulevard and Paterson Road, in sites occupied by lush flora. These entrances have been designed to be built into the slope and greenery of their locations, to reduce their impact on the heritage trees and landscaping at ground level. The entrances’ heights are also kept low in order not to block pedestrian’s views and wayfinding along the road.
