St. Andrew’s Nursing Home

Singapore

This is a 9-storey 342-bed resident-centric Nursing Home located along Pelton Canal, a Park Connector linking Kallang Park & Balam Park, and along the busy Aljunied Road. The facility is designed to be truly a Home to its residents & to display familiar characters of a home-like environment which entails a sense of belonging, safety, comfort, care & dementia-friendly.
Views towards the open Pelton Canal are maximised. Being close to the busy PIE highway, the façade thoughtfully integrates vertical fins to mitigate noise issues, while giving the overall development is intrinsic character away from an institutional building.
The ground floor is designed to be porous, functioning as a public void deck with a communal pantry that can be used to engage neighbouring community & PCN users. Landscaping & Garden are seamlessly integrated with the building with therapeutic elements, resting facilities & inter-generation outdoor activity area.
