Background and features[edit]


Orchard Central was designed by DP Architects. It is designed as Singapore's first vertical mall, and it consists of 12 floors above ground and 2 basement levels. Unlike traditional mall designs, a central atrium is omitted and It also features a "super escalator", which takes pedestrians on street level directly up to Level 4. The mall is served by a total of 52 escalators (including 6 super escalators) and 12 glass elevators.[3]


The mall features a 140m shopping street discovery walk and a green roof which are both open 24 hours to public. Designed by Japanese design house Super Potato, the green roof features 3 large living walls and balcony rail on the 11th floor and 2 lower green walls on the 12th floor roof terrace.[4] There is also a biological pond located on the 12th storey of the green roof.[5]


Other features of the mall includes open sided galleries and multiple atriums.[6] The mall is connected to 313@Somerset and Orchard Gateway.



Art Trail[edit]


Orchard Central has artworks that are permanent displayed in clustered located around the mall. The display is worth over SGD$9 million. Artworks featured in the display were curated by National Arts Council. The total development cost of the project is estimated to be more than SGD$650 million.[citation needed]


Artworks featured in this display were specially commissioned, and they were done by artists from countries like the US, Japan, Australia and Denmark.[citation needed]
