Orchard Scotts, situated at 7 Anthony Road, perfectly combines modern luxury and strategic convenience. Located in District 9, this prestigious condominium provides a tranquil living environment within the bustling Orchard Road area, making it a top choice for sophisticated urbanites.
Architectural Excellence
Designed by renowned Arquitectonica, Orchard Scotts features three sculptural blocks resembling prisms. Unique among residential developments, it also includes a hospitality block. Block five houses the luxury serviced apartments, Orchard Scotts Residences, while Blocks three and seven offer 387 residential units ranging from 1 to 4 bedrooms and penthouses. The towers stand 19 and 20 stories tall, respectively.
The sleek glass façades and floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning views of Singapore’s skyline. Positioned around a central water landscape, the structures create an artistic form within a “sculpture garden.” Their distinct profiles, with strategically “carved” sections, make each block a visual statement. Colour also plays a role, with Block 3 featuring red accents, Block 5 in green, and Block 7 in blue—each creating a moiré pattern with its coloured glass stripes.
Orchard Scotts seamlessly integrates greenery with its cutting-edge design, providing open, expansive spaces at the centre of the development while ensuring privacy through more intimate areas along the perimeter. Its thoughtfully designed facilities perfectly balance luxury, recreation, and tranquillity, making it a true urban retreat.
Prime Location
Orchard Scotts’ key appeal lies in its prime location. Just a short drive from the famous Orchard Road, residents enjoy unparalleled access to high-end shopping, dining, and entertainment. The proximity to top schools like Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), EtonHouse International School (Orchard), and St, Joseph’s Institution Junior makes it ideal for families.
Public transport is easily accessible, with Newton MRT station nearby via a sheltered walkway. The development is also well-connected to major expressways like the Central Expressway (CTE), offering convenient access to other parts of the island.
Comprehensive Facilities at Orchard Scotts
Entrance Features:
The entrance greets residents and guests with lush greenery, water cascades, and planters, setting a peaceful tone for the luxurious lifestyle that awaits. The architectural feature portal and main drop-off area add further elegance and convenience.
Tranquil Koi Pond:
A tranquil koi pond at the entrance elevates the ambience, offering residents a soothing visual experience. A series of tall vertical columns with distinct textures, shapes, and finishes decorate the pond, creating a unique art piece as you gradually step into the development. Some columns are adorned with greenery, while lush trees and plants frame the area, seamlessly integrating nature with modern architecture. The design harmoniously merges contemporary elements with the natural environment to form a serene urban oasis. Covered walkways featuring a tensioned fabric canopy provide shaded, weather-protected pathways between the blocks.
Tennis Courts Tucked Away At The Corners Of The Development:
The development includes two tennis courts, one near the basketball court by Block 5 and the other near Block 7, just past the Koi Pond. A nearby tennis pavilion provides players a comfortable space to rest, socialize, and wait their turn. Strategically placed at the corners of the development, the courts are surrounded by walkways and greenery to minimize noise disruption to residents during games.
Recreational Basket Ball Court
Spanning 260,000 square feet, Orchard Scotts also features a full-size recreational basketball court. This basketball court is situated next to the tennis court by Block 5 and is surrounded by lush greenery. This open area provides residents with a space for outdoor exercise. Like the tennis courts, a walkway lined with greenery separates the court from the residences, offering privacy and a peaceful atmosphere while ball games are in progress.
Outdoor Fitness Corner
Alongside the outdoor basketball court, an open-air fitness corner between the tennis pavilion and BBQ pavilions provides residents with a spacious, well-ventilated area for static exercises. This fitness corner also acts as a seamless transition zone, gently shifting the ambience and function from the leisurely BBQ area to the active tennis courts.
BBQ Pavilions:
Five BBQ pavilions, tucked amid greenery along the development’s most extended perimeter near the main pool, provide residents ample space to enjoy gatherings with friends in a picturesque setting. This strategic location minimizes smoke and noise disruption to nearby residents. The adjacent open deck beside the pool enhances the resort-like atmosphere and accommodates larger gatherings. Various cabanas suit different group sizes, ensuring ample space for intimate groups of four or larger parties of up to 20.
Outdoor Dining Pavilion
Complementing the BBQ pavilions, the outdoor dining pavilion offers the perfect space for hosting events at home. Fully sheltered and surrounded by greenery at the heart of the development, it allows residents to hold gatherings in any weather. Equipped with a professional-grade kitchen and seating for up to 24 guests, the pavilion ensures a comfortable dining experience. A row of vending machines behind the kitchen offers quick access to snacks and drinks for added convenience.
Spa and Relaxation Zones:
Beyond the activity and social zones, Orchard Scotts offers serene spaces for residents seeking relaxation. These tranquil areas are tucked into private corners throughout the development, with the main relaxation zone near Block 5. Here, two spa pavilions stand in a secluded structure, surrounded by reflective pools along the main pathway. One pavilion even features massage beds, allowing residents to invite their masseuse and enjoy a spa-like experience at home.
Next to the spa pavilion is a triangular-shaped jacuzzi designed to mirror the development’s layout. Complete with a pool deck, it offers residents a picturesque view of the swimming pool, while nearby seating provides a place to relax without getting wet.
Opposite the spa pavilion sits a distinctive elevated tub encircled by greenery and offering a direct view of the main jacuzzi. The area features unique column designs, where two columns are connected at the top, forming an “n” shape. This creates a visual connection with the main koi pond area while offering a fresh design twist.
The final relaxation zone comprises a secluded jacuzzi on a raised platform, nestled between the BBQ cabanas. This provides a peaceful retreat from the social BBQ areas, allowing pool-goers to enjoy a nearby dip in a more intimate setting.
Swimming Pools
Orchard Scotts offers a variety of swimming pools designed to meet the needs of different residents. The main pool features a unique shape that flows alongside Block 7 toward the lounge pool at the heart of the development. This pool is perfect for lap swimmers, providing a resort-like ambience with deck chairs and seating thoughtfully arranged around it. The pool’s design also allows for shaded cabanas, where residents can take a refreshing dip while staying cool and protected from the sun.
Adjacent to the main pool, the water extends into the lounge pool, featuring whimsical elements echoing the spa pavilion’s distinctive columns. A series of N-shaped columns form a playful, creature-like structure, with water spouting from its “mouth” as if traversing a passageway. Soothing water spouts from both the pool and a central fountain add to the ambience of the lounge pool, while leaf-shaped sun loungers beckon residents to unwind and soak up the sun.
For families, the kids’ pool is conveniently located next to the lounge pool, allowing parents to watch their children while enjoying the water themselves.
A reflective pool beside Block 7 further enhances the serene atmosphere, seamlessly connecting the lounge pool area to the block’s main entrance.
Children’s Play Club:
Unlike the typical playground found in most condominiums, the Orchard Scotts play area is an expansive zone featuring uniquely designed structures resembling trees with a metal canopy. These vibrant, colourful structures create an exciting environment for children, encouraging them to run freely through the open space. Climbing frames, slides, and various play elements offer a safe and engaging space for children to develop their motor skills. Seating areas are also provided for parents or helpers to supervise their children comfortably.
Giant Chess Set:
For older children seeking a more intellectual challenge, a giant chess set near the outdoor dining pavilion offers a fun and interactive activity. This stimulating activity allows them to engage their minds while enjoying the outdoor environment.
Verdant Greenery and Tranquil Spaces:
Lush greenery and serene water features are woven throughout the development, creating a resort-like ambience. The greenery enhances the overall aesthetic and separates facility zones, increases privacy, and elevates the tranquil atmosphere.
