The Jovell Review

The Jovell is hot property now. Check out its’ listings here.

The Jovell is a new development by Tripartite Developers Pte. Ltd. (Hong Leong, CDL & TID), situated along Flora Drive, in a quiet, private condominium estate.

Launched on the weekend of the 15^th of Sept 2018, The Jovell is a mid-size development with 428 units. It has various sizes however, from 1-bedrooms to 4-bedrooms and the many variants in between.

At just eight storeys, The Jovell is a relatively low-rise development with a 2,700m² leisure pool that starts from near the entrance of the project and meanders throughout. There’s a section designed to mimic a beach with pebbles set up as a segue to the water.

This is unique as very few developments in Singapore implement the swimming pool in an integrated manner. Coupled with the man-made beach, it gives The Jovell an interesting aesthetic. Residents who live in ground floor units facing the beach are going to have an immediate resort-like atmosphere.

There are several other interesting facilities in The Jovell, such as stone alcove with hot and cold jacuzzi. The emphasis on the water element and natural set pieces gives The Jovell a nice, relaxing ambience; a theme that follows through to its units.

A somewhat conventional layout is elevated by a simple and elegant design that has more space that a bedroom this size has reason to offer.

Tiled with ceramic, the immediate area appears bright. Ceramic tiles are durable, water-resistant and easy to maintain due to their hardness. They’re also generally cold to the touch which, given Singapore’s scorching weather, is a good thing.

The open kitchen benefits from this extra space since it makes the area look bigger and less constrained.

2-room + study’s open kitchen

Outfitted with all the bells and whistles (fridge, oven, sink etc.), the kitchen nook will be a great place to whip up a quick meal before settling down at either the dining table or living area.

Study area of 2+1 unit

The study area isn’t blocked by a door. This gives it a little more width to play with while ensuring that the space still feels usable and complimentary to the rest of the unit without making it feel cramped.

Situated in between the two bedrooms and after the bathroom makes it a good location to turn into a temporary nursery, a library or just a cosy entertainment room where members of the family can hang out in.

1BR+study (527 sq ft.)

For a small unit, it’s crazy how there are struggles to properly execute on a functional yet unique layout. The Jovell’s 1+1 unit however, is a great offering.

The kitchen, instead of lining the wall of the corridor upon entering the unit, is situated on the left after the corridor, facing the living area. This saves spaces while removing the eye-sore of having a kitchen meet your guests every time. It also lets you furnish that short hallway with small shelves or picture frames.

Also tiled with ceramic, the 1+1 is expected to be a popular choice among investors and young couples. It’s a fantastic, cosy apartment with a generous open kitchen and good layout.

1+1’s master bedroom and bathroom

The bathroom and bedroom are just after the kitchen and behind where the living area is. Fairly spacious on their own, they’re sufficient for a single or a couple moving into their first private property.

The bathroom is lined with ceramic floor and wall tiles while the bedroom has timber flooring. It’s an attractive visual that’s also durable and easy to maintain.

3BR (904 sq ft.)

A bigger space allows for a wider welcome area as it’s better to receive guests, then bring them to the main area.

The Jovell’s 3-room hallway from entrance

The ceramic tiles under white light gives the entire unit a brighter and wider feeling. It also helps that the 3-room is generally bigger.

With the balcony providing a larger source of natural illumination and ventilation, the 3-room unit is comfortable and attractive.

One of the more unique things about the 3-room unit is that the location of the master bedroom and common bedroom were switched. Now, the master bedroom and the en-suite bathroom are opposite the common bedroom and bathroom while the third bedroom is situated at the head.

This layout essentially turns the other common bedroom into a junior master minus the bathroom. It allows for a bit more privacy. At the least, it can be made into a family room without the hassle of attempting to accommodate the en-suite bathroom.

Overall, The Jovell, as a low-rise development has good-looking units with unique layouts and all-round excellent execution. The Jovell is a great addition to Flora Drive.
