Challenge
Benoy was tasked with developing a new retail structure along Singapore’s famous Orchard Road. Catering to the region’s thriving contemporary and commercial hub, while standing amongst enormous feats in 21st century architecture, this development had to integrate with Singapore’s iconic skyline and provide a unique retail experience.
Solution
Blending form with function, the tower’s design was an exercise in simplicity, efficiency and sustainability. Using LED technology on the façade and focusing on public space and strong pedestrian thoroughfares, we balanced striking aesthetics with commercial viability.
Result
The award-winning ION Orchard is a landmark retail icon, comprising retail, leisure, an art gallery, and a luxurious residential tower over eight levels, crowned by an Observation Deck with 360-degree views. With its vast range of facilities and vivid light display, ION Orchard injects energy and activity into Singapore’s contemporary culture.
