LANDSCAPE EXCELLENCE

Landscape Aesthetic Values

Elevated on the fourth storey is a lushly landscaped E-deck, gently terracing to the neighbouring Town Garden. Akin to the Central Park in New York City, the landscape is an abode of respite in the hustle and bustle of urbanity. Residents can relax and enjoy a piece of green after each day's work, while benefitting from the convenience of a mixed development. A variety of facilities presented in thematic functions add character to the generous landscape. An example is the Cabana Garden which comprise of the Aqua-Gym, Hot Spa, Open Lawn, Water Cabana and Patio Cabana. Other facilities provided include a clubhouse, dining lounge, guest villa, 50m lap pool, gym, spas, cabanas, pavilions etc. The lush greenery extends up to the blocks and is realized in the form of airy communal sky terraces, creating an iconic development.

Specially designed to create a paradise of unique experiences, it showcases 3 themed gardens, namely Waterfall Garden, Fountain Garden and Springwater Garden, which span across an Entertainment Deck of 200,000 ft2, equivalent to the combined size of 2 football fields.

The lush tropical gardens crowning the North Park Residence is a landscape deck bursting with life and energy. With over forty named facilities to enjoy, residents are spoilt for choice with the great variety of recreational activities. At the heart of this landscape design is the clubhouse, standing on axis to the Ten Coves of discovery, which is an extensive collection of facilities that are thematically curated into Ten Coves that will be a landscape destination catering to every desire and aspiration.

Social & Cultural Values

Located at the heart of Yishun Central, the Northpoint City project aims to create the premier lifestyle hub in the north of Singapore where entertainment and shopping meets modern living, functionality meets experience and transport hub meets community culture. We believe in creating a nexus where the community converges in a memorable environment that goes beyond shopping.

Liveability & Wellness

Anchored into the existing Yishun Town Garden, the design draws its inspiration from the lush greenery found in its undulating grounds. We are inspired to therefore extend the greenery onto the façade of the podium, creating a ‘green necklace’ (Refer to Appendix C- Figure AP-1) that magnifies the effect of the garden to the entire development and culminating onto the Level 3 roof garden and the Environmental Decks (E-Decks) of the 12 Condominium Towers. The multi-faceted development, being a Green Mark GoldPLUS Award recipient will therefore be the ‘Landscape of Yishun’, an urban oasis interweaving nature & suburban life.

DESIGN EXCELLENCE

Exterior Aesthetics

An architectural language of clean modern lines with generous overhangs is adopted to express the efficiency and elegance of modern living. Overhangs, characteristic of tropical living, offers protection from both strong direct sunlight and rain. Resultant sleek outlines are accentuated by shadows, adding to strong identifiable profiles.

Double volume proportions are celebrated, offering a good expanse of glass facade and maximizing views, diffused daylight and natural ventilation for the units. This is further emphasized by double volume sky terraces, which are well-ventilated places of community gathering for residents. Collectively with the lushly landscaped facade of the podium, these elevated terraces form a strong design impression, creating an outstanding development along the main road Yishun Avenue 2.

Interior Aesthetics & Finishes

Five unique living space concepts offer wide and open layouts with flexible configurations, creating functional, beautiful homes that take full advantage of this unique integrated development.

Suites - Customise the open layout with living, dining and bedroom spaces seamlessly.

Viva - The layouts offer excellent views of the surrounding lush landscaping. Separate living and dining areas provide families with exclusive spaces to entertain guests and spend time together in.
