Site Plan and Floor Plan

The southwest of the North Gaia site shall be softscaped over as much as possible at the landscape deck level with only quiet and sedentary facilities that will minimally impact in terms of dis-amenities to the existing residents of Symphony Suites. The fundamental consideration in the site planning was to break up the building mass so as to avoid wall-like impact to its surroundings and to maximise block to block distances to accommodate main facilities at the centre of the site. The proposed vehicular entrance access to the site is stipulated from Yishun Close, a quieter cul-de-sac away from the main roads.

The entrance driveway leads to the main drop-off for the development, continuing down into the basement carpark. Services and Fire Engine Access are segregated right after the entry point of the site. There is separate ramp access going down to basement 2 for services. The sub-station and bin centre are located at the lower car parking level.

This site planning also managed to create 2 main strips of landscape spaces sandwiched in between tower blocks as visual corridors. At the landscape deck level, various types of amenities and facilities are placed carefully and strategically so they can be accessed conveniently and enjoyed by the residents. Various selections of recreational and entertainment areas are located within clubhouses that are catered for the different generations of residents. The clubhouses are designed with functional spaces to host family events, co-working environment, games and play activities, and other uses that can be enjoyed by all the residents. The clubhouses architecture form are designed to blend together with the towers’ design, with a simple and timeless façade treatment and interior finishes.

The facilities are integrated into a carefully-crafted landscape that has been designed in several pools of various sizes and different kinds of garden experiences. This gives a dramatic effect to the landscape spaces with cascading waterfalls, and unique spatial surprises created by the dynamic vantage points and vistas as one moves through its spaces. The development’s resort-style amenities are seamlessly fused together with the landscape. This seamless integration between facilities and landscape allows the various type of nature connection experiences. Thus, creating the essence of North Gaia: the meeting point of nature and the urban city lifestyle.
