Information About

An artist impression of Dairy Farm Condominium. This condominum is made up of 477 apartments of various unit types spread across six high-rise blocks and 12 low-rise blocks. The higher blocks are in the central part of the the site where the facilities such as swimming pool and other amenities are also located, while the lower ones at the perimeter. The development's distinctive architectural feature is the overhanging roofs of the residential blocks. Visible from Bukit Timah Road, they convey a distinctive tropical aesthetic. Within the compound, the use of square gridded balustrades and mesh screen give the development a traditional aesthetic. Furthermore, services and carparks are tucked below the apartments and sheltered behind landscaped embarkments to reduce their visual impact. For the residents, the generous forecourts each unit is given creates a transition space to their private dwelling, while the generous ceiling heights aid thermal insulation and cross ventilation.
