Where Exactly is Suffolk Road?
When you mention Suffolk Road, most people would have no clue where this road is. Even though Suffolk road has excellent connectivity, with accessibility to the city centre in a matter of minutes. The reason is simple, Suffolk Road is a small road and connected only directly to the main arterial Thomson Road. This passageway only serves residents at Ten @ Suffolk, Lucida, The Spinnaker, Haniffa and Suffolk Premier. This no-through-road effectively creates a private residential enclave which no cars or pedestrians should pass. Unless of course, if you are a resident living in this exclusive pocket.

Features of Ten @ Suffolk
Ten @ Suffolk has only 37 residences in the entire development. Like most boutique apartments, facilities are basic with the standard pool, gym, BBQ pit and children’s playground. Although simple, the developer Hong Fok manages to create a little oasis using contrasting mosaic tiles for the pool, black stone tiles and a glass art piece beside the pool. The smart positioning of the gym and function room beside the swimming pool also serves another purpose. Bringing the beauty of the outside environment into the small limited space and flood it with light.

Building Layout and Façade
If you look at Ten @ Suffolk from afar, the building shape is somewhat unconventional. There is a total of 3 stacks in the entire development. Stack 02 and 03 are the two bedrooms beside each other while three bedrooms at stack 01 are extended out at an angle facing the same direction. You may wonder why the architect created this single facing design. In real estate terminology, we call layouts like these single loading. A single-loading unit only has neighbours directly beside them. With nothing blocking in front and behind the apartment, airflow is excellent and there is always sufficient illumination in the house. I believe the slight tilt of stack 01 is also intentional to maximise the incredible unblocked city views that the residents will enjoy.
Stack 01 is on the right-hand side.

Unit Layout
Completed in 2006, Ten @ Suffolk is a 12-year-old building. Back in those days, developers tend to build unit types that are larger than we see today. The two-bedroom ranges from 1087 to 1109 sqft and comes with an enclosed full-sized kitchen, utility room, yard complete with two bathrooms and a toilet. Since there is no balcony, almost every inch of the unit comprises of pure indoor space. Typically, balconies are important because they allow natural light to flood the living room and let you enjoy the outdoors right at home. Since there aren’t any balconies, the architect decided to place floor to ceiling glass panels to illuminate the living room. As for the bedrooms, bay windows have the same illuminating purpose but allow for more privacy by breaking the shape of its occupants.

Metal Frame Planter Boxes at Ten @ Suffolk
Even though there is zero semi-outdoor space at Ten @ Suffolk, those with green fingers can still put them to good use. Instead of a typical concrete planter box, there is a provision of a metal frame outside the living room window. Access to this metal frame is via the bottom glass panel of the window using with a unique key. Form here, you can push your pots outside safely. Even if you do not use the planter box for its intended purpose, the structure can still function as a privacy screen.
