St. Thomas Suites is a freehold luxury condominium nestled in the heart of the Orchard district, just behind the Orchard Road’s prime shopping area. At more than 130m in height, the 2 towers are a striking landmark from both River Valley Road and Orchard Boulevard, as its distinctive curved façade stands out from the surrounding rectilinear blocks.
In response to its surroundings, the units feature long balconies that curve along its rooms, directing views out of the units and giving residents a panoramic view of the city, while providing sunshade all the rooms in the unit below. The smooth curved façade is achieved through the frameless glass balustrade of the balconies, lining up as a continuous form regardless of the fenestration on the wall.
Utilizing the existing contours and existing greenery, the drop-off area is designed as a sunken garden, welcoming visitors and surrounding them in a nature-filled tranquil environment.
