About Ki Residences Site Location

The Ki Residences condo will be built on a sprawling 373,008 sqft site. With a plot ratio of 1.6, it will yield a total gross floor area (GFA) of 656,494 sqft, inclusive of the 10% bonus area for balcony. There will be ten 12-storey blocks comprising approximately 660 units of 1 to 5-bedroom units (see Floor Plans). The development will blend seamlessly with the lush greenery and serene surrounding which consists primarily of two-storey bungalows and other private residential housing.

To improve accessibility, the developer will construct a new road eastward (see map) that cuts through a forested area to connect directly to Clementi Road. Currently, there is only one access road leading in/out of the Sunset Way estate. The new route will reduce the travelling distance from the condo to the main road from 1.5km to 500m. This will also reduce the walking time by two-third to just 6 minutes.

Moreover, the end of this new access road will be very close to the bus-stops along Clementi Road, thus providing convenient access to public transportation. And in the future, there may potentially be a new MRT station as the Cross Island Line (CRL) is likely to pass through the area. Phase 1 of the CRL will be from Changi Aviation Park to Bright Hill. Subsequent Phases will see it extend to Jurong while passing through areas like Bukit Timah and Clementi.

 

Ki Residences Condo's Exquisite Design Concept

The design concept of Ki Residences is informed and inspired by its natural environment and the spirit of the place. Taking inspiration from the Japanese word "Ki", it seeks to harmonise the well-being of its inhabitants with their natural surroundings. Striving to be more than just a place of residence, the lush greenery and landscaping which will cover more than 35% of the ground. This will provide a restful retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern living while re-energising ourselves. There will also be more than 50 facilities to provide leisure and recreation for everyone - be they young or old.

 

Ki Residences At Brookvale Site Layout

Due to the nature of the nature of the Ki Residences At Brookvale site, which is elongated, all the blocks are laid out side-by-side to each other. In other words, none will face each other and this maximises airflow and ventilation. In addition, the blocks are either north or south-facing and hence, residents will avoid either the morning or afternoon.

As the blocks do not face each other, residents will also have more privacy, especially those on the lower floors as there is no fear of people peering down at them.

Another impressive feature about the development is the huge amount of space allocated to landscaping and facilities. Usually, such luxury is only afforded to high-end condos and this is something potential buyers will surely appreciate.

Entrance/Drop-off Point: For visitors, the grand entrance and drop-off point with the karesansui-inspired water feature will surely impress them. It is also quite sizable and the "swirling" design gives the place a spacious feel.

Although many residents of Ki Residences condo are expected to be car owners, those who aren't and who take taxis or Grab would appreciate the unique architecture and good size of the entrance plaza.

Facilities: With regards to the facilities, they are organised into nine different zones, namely Wood, Tranquil, Forest, Flavour, Spirit, Stream, Flow, Circle and Movement. This is to reflect its overall design concept which seeks to harmonise the human spirit with its natural environment.

Enzo Clubhouse: In an effort to retain as much greenery as possible, a majestic Ficus tree will be conserved. It will be made into a focal point with the clubhouse built around it. The clubhouse will have two levels with a cantilevered gym overlooking a 50m lap pool located on top. This provides a relaxing view for residents while they work out a sweat.

There is also a lounge, BBQ deck, function and dining rooms for hosting meetings or parties. The function rooms can be combined if more space is required for big groups. At the same time, their 5m high double volume ceiling height and floor-to-ceiling windows really help to accentuate the space.

Dining Room: The dining room is located at the Flavour" zone at the furthest end of the development. The elegant all-wood room equipped with cooking appliances, allows an intimate dining experience. It even has a walk-in cellar that holds up to 2,000 bottles. Guests can also retreat into the media room or library to relax. Beside it is a herbs and spices garden and community farming plots.

Swimming Pools: Beside the clubhouse are several swimming pools catering to children and adults. At the "Flow" zone, there are two pools at 50m and 33.3m respectively. The sides of the pools have wavy patterns that simulate the flow of water.

The 50m "Forest" pool is the largest in Ki Residences. With a width of 12m, there is enough space for everyone, including serious swimmers looking to do multiple laps. Meanwhile, the 33.3m "Lagoon" pool is only about one-third the width of the "Forest" pool, which caters to the casual swimmers or those who just want a relaxing dip in the cool water.

And there is the 40m "Family" pool with cascading water feature, accompanied by a smaller kids pool with water-jets that will surely provide great fun for the whole family. The "Family" pool is only 0.9m deep, which is obviously designed for safety of the little ones playing nearby.

Around the pools, you will find several jacuzzis while the pavilion decks with the lush landscaping provide a nice outdoor retreat to relax and have some private time.

Hydro-Therapy Pool: At one end of the Ki Residences is the hydro-therapy pool and spa facilities, which include a water therapy area and steam room. These overlook a calming rock pool that will put your mind at ease, while the hydro-therapy pool allows residents to relax aching joints or let the falling water gently caressed their bodies.

Meanwhile, the steam room allows residents to relieve their stress or to burn off calories for a healthy lifestyle.

As with the overall design concept, the hydro-therapy pool is surrounded by lush greenery and thoughtful landscaping for a more intimate experience, as well as providing more privacy.

Children Play Area/Party Room: The Ki Residences At Brookvale condo is designed with families with children of different ages in mind. Besides the water features and kids pool, there is also a play area with spring riders, climbing mounds, boulder walls and a trampoline. In addition, a kids room for hosting parties is beside the playground, which is a nice feature to have.
