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.
