1 Robin Road

Perched at the edge of Robin Road, along Bukit Timah Road, is the statuesque 1 Robin Road apartments.There are 14 units in total, all offering fantastic views to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and beyond.

Each unit occupies one floor with private lobbies offering the ultimate exclusivity. Upon entering the unit, the owner is greeted with the magnificent view (best seen in the high-rise unit) as the lift lobby door is a grand full height glass sliding door.

We managed to check out the penthouse and were immediately taken in by the breathtaking view from the balcony. Even from within, the double-volume height of the living and dining spaces were simply awesome.

The view from the staircase landing was great too. Full height glass that reached a double volume height added much light into the space.

Opened with little interest initially, the units were all fully sold after the building was completed and achieved TOP. Guess the biggest selling point had to be the view.



We particularly liked the details of the staircase that showcased how an elegant staircase could be achieved. The design was a open riser staircase with a continous metal stringer that linked the two flights of stairs.

The threads are also anchored on one side to the wall, so there is only one continous stringer on the open side of the stairs.

Timber is used as the material to clad the threads, similar to the timber floor for the corridors and the bedrooms. This effectively connects the stairs with the bedrooms, and makes it a seemless match.

Stainless steel handrail is built onto the glass balustrade in a but detailed to make everything look as light-weight as possible.

All the materials and detailing seek to enhance the continuity and lightness of the two flights of stairs.

The kitchen is also exquiste with its modern treatment of stainless steel, white workbench and Miele appliances including a coffee machine to boot.
