Overview & Development Facts
Watten House is an ultra-prime freehold luxury development situated on a rare 220,243 sq ft hilltop site along Shelford Road in prime District 11. Jointly developed by UOL Group and Singapore Land Group (SingLand), the project comprises 180 large-format residences across eight 5-storey blocks. Designed by Architects 61 with biophilic landscaping by Henning Larsen and inspired by I.M.

All 180 developer units have officially sold out, establishing the project as the defining Bukit Timah CCR freehold luxury benchmark.

Architectural Concept: Suzhou Museum Vernacular on a Hilltop
Designed by Architects 61 with landscaping by renowned biophilic studio Henning Larsen (formerly Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl), Watten House is inspired by Asian vernacular architecture and I.M. Pei's Suzhou Museum concept. Distinctive pitched roof profiles, sheltered breezeways, and layered stone pavilions frame twenty serene water courtyards, creating an intimate sanctuary within the Shelford landed enclave.
