A&A and conversion of 5 storey department store into supermarket with 22 new F&B units at 160 Orchard Road (TASTE ORCHARD)

Year 2022-2023: Transformation of A Nostalgia Orchard Road's shopping mall into an Exciting Multi-Culinary Destination

​

OG Orchard Point holds a special place in the memories of mid-aged Singaporeans as the go-to shopping destination when they was young.

​

Hao Mart Pte. Ltd. has taken the reins with a vision to elevate it into a premier shopping mall, setting the stage for a culinary adventure.

​

The primary challenges are twofold. Firstly, the existing structure presents hurdles in routing the 20 numbers of new F&B ducting system, demanding a careful balance between environmental control and aesthetic considerations.

Secondly, the aging building, requires upgrades to align with the latest Fire Code requirements set by SCDF.

​

Further complexity arises from fulfilling PUB, NEA, and LTA requirements to convert the previous departmental store into a brand-new mall with F&B outlets. This involves meticulous planning for refuse disposal, loading facilities, restroom facilities, and parking provisions.

​

In terms of design, the client has strategically allocated the budget towards an interior transformation. The ground floor showcases a seamlessly integrated supermarket and a lively F&B experience. Visitors strolling along Orchard Road will be greeted by the dancing light artworks.

​

This venture signifies not just a retail rejuvenation but an immersive journey for patrons, turning the nostalgia shopping venue into modern culinary destination
