The Gazania Review

The Gazania is the first condo in Singapore to be launched as part of a twin launch, along with its neighbour and sister condo The Lilium. The two developments are very much their own entities though and should be viewed and considered as such.

Named after the night blooming flower, the marketing around this project has a night theme. However, like The Lilium, buyers have the choice of having a warm or cool look for their particular unit. This choice means there will be a difference in the carpentry, the flooring and the counter tops, giving residents the opportunity to match their home to their preferences and their existing furniture. The showflat has been kitted out in warm colours.

Of the two developments, The Gazania is considerably larger, giving a wider choice of unit types from one-bedders up to maisonettes and penthouses. The maisonettes have their own private parking space next to the basement entrance to the unit, reminiscent of a landed property. They also have what will effectively be their own private garden. Though the green space is open for all residents, in reality, it will not be used by anyone outside of that specific unit.

Facilities include a 50-metre infinity lap pool, spa pool, kids’ playground, clubhouse and BBQ pavilion. As well as being the first development to be marketed as part of a twin launch – something which makes perfect economic sense – it is also the first one to have its showflat and sales gallery inside an industrial unit (2nd floor 16 Tai Seng Street). This does mean that there is only one unit on display.

4 Bedroom (1,280.9 sq ft)

The living and dining room areas are large, with a minimum of 5.5 metres from wall to wall. They have been designed in a way that the lounge and dining areas are side by side, so that both get the benefit from the windows, as opposed to the dining room being tucked away by the kitchen.

The enclosed kitchen has glass on two sides that goes up to 1.75 metres in height. This allows more light into the cooking area and helps to keep the appearance of connectivity throughout the home.

The kitchen has porcelain floor tiles and a quartz counter top. It features an Electrolux fridge, built-in oven and gas hob & hood. The stainless-steel sink is by Franke, with a Grohe mixer.

The room off the kitchen could be put to a variety of uses, such as storage, a helper’s room or even a door into the living area. Units also come with a useful built-in shoe rack, freeing up space in other areas of the home.

Another neat addition that comes as a standard feature in all bedrooms is the so-called magic drawer. Not only does it provide extra storage space, it is also home to a full-length mirror.

The master bedroom can easily accommodate a king-sized bed and comes with a good sized en suite.

The junior master bedroom comes with an en suite of sorts, though the bathroom does share an entrance. The other bedrooms are a decent size, as is the third bathroom, which like all of the bathrooms in the units feature fixtures and fittings from Roca, Grohe and Laufen.
