Design Orchard Opens to Public in Singapore

Web Structures Design Orchard project officially opened its doors on the 25th of January. Located at the junction of Orchard Road and Cairnhill Road, the 2½-storey mall will include a retail showcase on the first level, incubation spaces on the second level, and a cafe and events space on the rooftop.

Web Structures worked on this WOHA-designed ambitious building. The design boasts a minimalist design and a clean and modern look thanks to the predominant use of concrete and glass. The porthole concrete structural walls don’t only soften the hardness but also provide inviting openings of the shop displays and ventilation through the building structure.

A retail space dedicated to showcasing local talent through 61 home-grown brands covering fashion, beauty and lifestyle, stationery and souvenirs, the new mall - a joint development of the JTC Corporation, Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and Enterprise Singapore - will become both a one-stop shopping destination for Singapore products and a workshop centre to nurture local designers.

Another successful collaboration between WOHA + WEB.
