'Exotic' facilities

Singapore, being the 'beginner's guide to Asia' sees some interesting facilities within its condominiums worthy of its tag. So- rooftop pools and private lifts aside, below are some of the more interesting 'facilities' developments have to offer:

1. Asian 'herb and spice garden' where you can pick out 'fresh ingredients for your culinary enjoyment' in this Asian cluster development:

2. Rainforest showers, reading alcoves and hot and cold jacuzzis in this development that looked set to reverse the trend of (not) having any facilities aside from an aesthetic pool.Photos can be found here:

3. Am pretty sure there's a condominium in Jurong with bowling alleys..
Wait- Savannah condopark has one(2-lane bowling alley). As the name indicates, Savannah condopark is landscaped with animals like hippos, its entrance flanked by giraffes- and I thought I saw burning torches amidst thatched roofs when I drove past…

4. As I am that a certain development in Holland Village comes with tree houses for the kids.

5. Sinaran@Soleil, covered in a previous post, similarly has spa alcoves.

6. Draycott 8 offers a wine cellar(with biometric access) within its colonial clubhouse.

7. One of the more bizarre offerings is from a modern condominium development in Bukit Timah with its camp site for children(with tepee-like tents) and aromatic mist stops for adults next to the reflexology corner.

8. River Place has an outdoor close-t0-life sized chess set.

9. Orchard Scotts offers a furo bath

Other developments, meanwhile, capitalise on their other 'core competencies'.

Beaufort@Nassim, The Four Seasons Residences, The St Regis Residences and Orchard Scotts offers either access to their spa network, concierge and butler services, as well as catering and management services from the Fullerton Hotel respectively. Picture above from St Regis Residences
