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
