Project Details

Facilities

In the Petit Jervois facilities sanctuary lies the spirit of craftsmanship and originality where each single function and detail is rigorously refined and considered. This development brims with the raw beauty, warmth and energy of concrete, glass, steel and brass which define and shape its architect design as well as the living experience.

Its facilities line-up, while not extravagant, is focused on promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. At the core of the sanctuary lies a swimming pool flanked by two blocks of the Petit Jervois residences.

At the end of the pool is the pool deck, for residents to chill or bask in sunlight after a dip or swim. Right beside the pool residents will find the fitness pavilion as well. Here, space is aplenty for all residents.

For those who love to have guests over, utilise the inviting BBQ area to hold special occasions or simply organise a casual luncheon or dinner here. While space is not massive here, there is enough room to host your guests.

The architectural design for Petit Jervois encompasses two cubes with unbounded formations depicting liveability. Its designers cleverly depicted the opening up of the structure to craft a couple of perfect cubes with the usage of single blocks for its foundation.

Then, the two cubes are placed after thoughtful reflection of the surrounding vicinity as well as the vagaries of the tropical climate. This results in an angular and low slung apartment blocks by landscapes baroque-inspired, each offering a uniquely different experience.

Petit Jervois features a distinctive point of entry with an extensive driveway while its piazza on the rear is a veritable retreat with porches of serene alcoves for its residents to bask and unwind in.

The interior spaces of each residence here are innately refined. Each living area is polished over with high flexibility and high functionality. Its walls seemingly vanish and slide offering the luxury of that integration that is seamless. Even so, after all the careful placement, residents have plenty of liberty to design their own living spaces to each their individual lifestyle.

Its design is inspired by Farnsworth House, constructed in 1945 and designed by renowned German-American architect, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The design is based on the concept of the living area being wrapped round the core centralized facilities which gives its residents the versatility to create their individual unique space.

Sophisticated details can be found amid its raw concrete finishing and base metals joints reflect the elegance of the urban industrial design here. Its design reflects an unorthodox representation of luxury, truthful in minimalism and apprehended to the highest level of refinement.

Floor Plan

1-Bedroom Unit

The picture above shows the 1 bedroom units – Type A2 (581 sqft), Type A3(635 sqft), and Type A4 (635 sqft). Entry prices are different for each 1 bedroom unit:

Type A2 at stack 11 has no balcony so it doesn’t have any view.

Stack 6 and Stack 4 face northeast overlooking Jervois Road and Orchard. There are many residences, office tower and embassy in sight.

Type A2 and Type A3 are similar in a square layout. The first walk-in past the kitchenette leads to the living room and balcony.

But Type A2 comes without a balcony. There are some differences between Type A2 and Type A3. First off, both units have different unit area where Type A3 unit has a bigger unit area with a balcony that is accessible from the living room or master bedroom. But the master bedroom in Type A3 is smaller than Type A2, thus lacking room to fit a working space as Type A2 has in its master bedroom.

Secondly, the kitchen in Type A2 is a one-sided open galley kitchen and Type A3 has a U-shaped open kitchen.

Lastly, the allocation of dining table and living room are different. Both unit have same dining table that can fit up to 4 person. From the layout above, we able to see that the dining table is combine together with living room in Type A3.

The merging of the dining space and living space allows families to enjoy leisure and entertainment time together whilst having their meals. Otherwise the dining area can be set up as a meeting space, with the use of the living room’s television as a projector for document sharing and screening.

Next, Type A4 has the same unit size as Type A3 but a different layout design. Type A4 has a unique style because the first thing from the entrance is its dining area and living room. The one sided open kitchen is right behind its living room – something rarely seen in other projects. In this, Type A4 has the biggest master bedroom with enough space to place a coffee table and a sofa, complete with a balcony which allows access from the master bedroom.

For prices, the overall price difference for 1 bedroom units could hit $ 170,000 when comparing the lowest and highest floor unit.

Overall, these three types of layout provide a welcoming vibe with different advantages. From the analysis above, Type A4 is highly recommended to buyers and investors who rarely cook and prefer a big master bedroom space. Type A2 is suitable for those looking at a low entry price and a unit without balcony.

1-Bedroom Unit

The picture above shows the 1 bedroom units – Type A5 (614 sqft), Type A7(646 sqft), and Type A8 (603 sqft). Entry prices are different for each 1 bedroom unit:

Stack 6 and Stack 2 face northeast overlooking Jervois Road and Orchard. There are many residences, office tower and embassy in sight.

Type A8 in stack 3 lacks a balcony so it will not able to have a view.

Type A5 is similar to Type A3 but with a smaller unit area. They have the same layout design with slight differences. Type A5 of a smaller unit area comes with a small dining area due to an extra door between its dining table and master bedroom. Type A5 has an L-shaped open kitchen as well.

On to Type A7 – the biggest 1 bedroom unit in Petit Jervois similar to Type A4, but in a rectangular layout design. With bigger unit area, Type A7 has a built-in wardrobe and a one sided kitchen behind its living room.

Lastly, Type A8 is similar to Type A2 as their square layout design are similar with no balcony. But Type A8 comes with a larger master bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe.

For prices, the overall price difference for 1 bedroom units could hit $ 121,000 when comparing the lowest and highest floor unit.

Overall, all three units (Types A5, A7 & A8) are virtually identical to Types A3, A4 & A2. Thus, the best option to buyers and investors here is based on unit area and entry price. In terms of entry price, Type A8 is highly recommended than Type A2 since it has a bigger unit area with lower entry price.

2-Bedroom Unit

The picture above shows the 2 bedroom units – Type B2 (743 sqft), Type B3 (775 sqft), Type B4 (818 sqft), Type B5 ( 840 sqft ) and Type B6 (915 sqft). Entry prices are different for each 2 bedroom unit:

Stack 5 facing southwest look towards Tiong Bahru and Bukit Merah, spotting Singapore River within 100 meters. Stack 5 spots some of the Petit Jervois’ facilities view as well.

Type B3 in stack 11 has no balcony so it will not be able to have views.

Stack 9 faces northwest where Holland V and Museum of Ice Cream Singapore are located. But Petit Jervois will not have a skyscraper view as it is a lower storey building in the area.

Stack 3 faces northeast overlooking Jervois Road and Orchard. There are many residences, office tower and embassy in sight.

All 2 bedroom units are similar in a square layout. The first walk-in past the kitchenette leads to the living room and balcony. The sizes of the bedroom, bathroom, balcony and kitchen area with one sided open kitchen are different.

First off, Type B5 has the biggest balcony compared to other units and Type B4 and Type B6 has the same balcony size, slightly smaller than Type B5. Whereas Type B4 has the smallest balcony in the 2 bedroom unit.

Type B3 has the biggest master bedroom even with a smaller unit area. Across the analysis and layout above, all 2 bedroom units above are of 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom units. The kitchen layout are all one sided galley kitchen with different sizes and most bathrooms are at the centre of the floor plan – with a jack and jill bathroom.

For prices, the overall price difference for 2 bedroom units could hit $ 385,000 when comparing the lowest and highest floor unit.

All 2 bedroom 1 bathroom units provide a different layout design with different sizes of master bedroom, bathroom, balcony and kitchen. Hence, options here are based on each unit based on the sizes and views.

2-Bedroom Unit

The picture above shows the 2 bedroom units – Type B8 (1,001 sqft), Type B9 (1,001 sqft), and Type B10 (1,012 sqft). Entry prices are different for each 2 bedroom unit:

Stack 8 and Stack 10 face northwest overlooking Holland V and Museum of Ice Cream Singapore. But Petit Jervois will have a skyscraper view because it is a lower storey building in the area.

Stack 5 faces southwest towards Tiong Bahru and Bukit Merah spotting Singapore River within 100 meters alongside views of its facilities.

Type B8 and Type B9 have the same unit area but its allocation of bedrooms, kitchen, dining table and living room are slightly different. In Type B8, everything is at the right side of the entrance.

In Type B9, there are two living space in the unit where the living room, dining area with table fits up to 6 person and its one sided galley open kitchen is at the right side of the entrance. And the rest – bedroom and bathroom are on the left side of the entrance.

Next, Type B10 is a mirrored layout of Type B8. But Type B10 has a bigger unit area with a bigger kitchen compared to Type B8.

With a 2 Bed 2 Bath configuration, all layouts are rectangular without long walkways at the door. Its living and dining area are wide and rectangular which is great for hosting gatherings with friends and families, which seems more likely for purchasers of units this size.

Additionally, both bedrooms can fit a queen bed unlike the 2 Bed 1 Bath configurations where all common rooms can only fit a single bed.

Most layouts also have a relatively large master room with a dedicated study, and B9 comes with a walk-in wardrobe. Lastly, all layouts have balconies that are accessible via the bedrooms and living area, or some via just the bedrooms.

For prices, the overall price difference for 2 bedroom units could hit $ 245,000 when comparing the lowest and highest floor unit. Of all 2 bedroom 2 bathroom unit, Type B8 is highly recommended due to a lowest entry price. Since Type B8 has the same unit area with Type B9, it is better to get the same unit area unit with a lower entry price but without a walk-in wardrobe.

For Type B10, the difference is on the size of the kitchen which is probably not worth the additional $ 100,000.

3-Bedroom Unit

Type C1 is the only 3 bedroom unit in Petit Jervois. Type C1 is at stack 7 facing southeast towards Great World and Marina East filled with many schools, residences, medical facilities and office towers.

Type C1 is similar to Type B9 with a dumbbell layout where bedrooms are at either side of the unit. At the left side of the entrance is a U-shaped open kitchen, bathroom 2 and bedroom 3. Here, the kitchen can be kept enclosed by adding a partition and a sliding door in order to fully utilise the space.

From the right side of the entrance, there is the dining area with a table that fits up to 6 person, living room and master bedroom with a walk in wardrobe and master bathroom. The balcony of the unit is accessible only via the bedrooms.

For prices, the entry price for Type C1 is $ 3,288,000 with price per sqft of $ 3,149. And currently, there is only one unit left for 3 bedroom unit in Petit Jervois.
