What do you think of SH's design?
Do you like or dislike it?
I personally find it NOT pleasing to the eye.
I get a prickling sensation when I look at it.
Perhaps I am not an arty farty person who can appreciate the design.

if you ask about the outer design...i find it not bad..
but anyone got the floorplan?
see those big balcony can only imagine you got very small living space lor..
not sure good for family to stay or not

Yup..... forgot to specify.Originally Posted by roly8
I am referring to the outer design.
i sidetrack abit ok...Originally Posted by buttercarp
imo,this building will look nice if its located in east coast area along the stretch of ECP..
but in bishan with the nearby hdb's? i have my doubts!
exactly... the surrounding not that ideal for that price...

a big waste for such a masterpiece ..

I agree with you that such a design should not be in a HDB estate.Originally Posted by fiat500
I kinda feel it sticks out like a sore thumb among the uniformed and neat HDB blocks.
exterior very nice...great to invite guest and show them around, including sky pool. but paisei to bring them into the house
Taking out the surrounding hdb from thr equation, i think it's a fantastic piece of architecture. Much better than sands, d'leedon and interlace. But it cost an arm and a leg.
OMG... what's wrong with me!Originally Posted by kane
Seems like most people adore its architecture.
I, on the otherhand find it an eye sore.
Perhaps I like uniformity and SH is not symmetrical hence I get uneasy when I look at it.
Hello butter sis, just curious, have u been to the show flat? The model looks better than on photoOriginally Posted by buttercarp
Hi bro.... no, I haven't been to the showflat.Originally Posted by price
Perhaps I may change my mind after seeing it?
I think U might.. It's 2 storey high!!Originally Posted by buttercarp
yeah, the mock up gives you the feeling that you're standing at the foot of a completed building and it has a very commanding look about it.
and i'm a person who is always very skeptical about high priced condos. even thomson grand couldn't tempt me, but this was an exception.
You have hit the nail on the head.Originally Posted by kane
I think I know why I don't like the design.
I find it too overpowering.
and the person living in the penthouse is like the supreme commander of this commanding looking development. heh.Originally Posted by buttercarp
It can look a little intimidating. Buy honestly, I do appreciate developers who try out new designs. There are way too many condos which resemble each other, much like a production chain. The question is whether SH is a case of trying too hard. To me, I think it is just fine. Unfortunately the pricing is a big downer. If the pricing is reasonable (and with small premium) and it gets sold out, I think more developers will take the chance to come up with creative designs. Today, its just too cookie cutter.Originally Posted by buttercarp
unless a crisis hits, otherwise it'll be tough to scoop this in the subsale at 1000psf.Originally Posted by insigina
Yeah, this price could be hard. I just cannot understand why the developer built so many units priced over 2.5mil. Many are closer to 3 mil. Makes me wonder if they even did any market research. Already there's a premium due to the land bid and brand name architect. Then they went further to build units close to 1,800 sqft for 4 bedders and other large terrace units. Putting all these elements together plus LH99, what are they doingOriginally Posted by kane

Its Bishan. Project die halfway there so be it. Its Bishan afterall not Farrer. Oh wait Farrer also cant sell out...Originally Posted by insigina
I believe the developer must have thought if carrots can grow in other OCRs, there should be even bigger and fatter carrots growing in Bishan. To prove the point that the MRT station is worth every cent the buyers are paying for, the developer refused to build a carpark so that all buyers can enjoy taking the MRT and walk 5 min under the sun or rain to visit the showflat.
I think the design is good; Singapore needs more of such building(s).
And then the m..... provides the accompaniment music...Originally Posted by roly8
U sound like Minority...calling everyone with money carrots..Originally Posted by hyenergix
I like carrots actually By the way, my relative backed out last min so he din buy after all. SH has made TG and other cheaper condos nearby a *very* safe buy.Originally Posted by Molotov
Just to add: the buyers are buying at a very much higher premium, and it will take several years for another plot to be launched and priced to exceed this launch. Buyers have to treat it as buying an artwork, or an iconic condo in Bishan. Anything else is secondary.

For a total immersive experience.....foreigners will be queuing to buy to experience first hand the world famous HDB life style. Or not.Originally Posted by carbuncle
You are right (no no don't mean the carrot reference). It is the money-no-object-I-want-to-own-an-art-piece people who are buying now....the rest are showroom browsers who are just glad the gallery admission is free.Originally Posted by hyenergix
Everyone loves carrots... They are the ones who help us raise our asset prices! Way to go manOriginally Posted by hyenergix
I personally find the architecture to be rather unique! 2 blocks staggered so everyone gets an unblocked view. The view from the pool in the "Skypark" would be a sight to behold too.
My only concern is the construction and eventual maintenance of the "non-uniform" structure, eg the staircase-like floors and the slanted balcony.
Also, the plots around SH all have plot ratios of 4.9, so once they are developed, SH would probably lose its exclusivity. The plot directly on its west is already on the Reserve List.
