ORCHARD RESIDENCES, ION ORCHARD

ORCHARD RESIDENCES, ION ORCHARD

The Orchard Residences is a luxurious residential landmark that sits atop Singapore's iconic retail mall, ION, in the heart of Orchard Road. This project involved landscape works for two rooftop gardens; a sky-rise garden on the 30th floor and a 75,000 square foot environmental deck on the 9th floor, featuring shade trees, lofty palms, flowering trees, leafy shrubs and an eco pond along with a water-efficient irrigation system. Restrictions due to rooftop access posed a unique set of challenges in material transportation, resulting in almost 4000m3 soil and large pre-grown trees having to be hoisted to these areas.

There was also the creation of green wall spanning 60 meters in length and 3 meters in height, that lines itself along the building while lending itself to pedestrians traversing along Singapore’s famed Orchard Boulevard. This green wall features one of Singapore’s first ever slimmest green wall systems (only 90mm in thickness) and comes with a fully integrated irrigation system.
