Let’s take a look at a detailed tour of Riviere!
Unit Analysis: 1 bedroom review
Let’s take a closer look at the 1 bedroom suite in Riviere. Based on the floor plan, we have a good size of 52 sqm (i.e. 560 sq ft) which spans across the kitchen, dining and living room. There is also the master bedroom and master bathroom that are separated from the common spaces.
From the actual showflat, we see that the living space was done really well to expand the walking spaces. With the seamless walk way connecting to the living room and the balcony, it gives the impression that the layout is bigger and wider. We like the Poggenpohl concealed pantry and storage cabinets as well, as it adds a touch of luxury that makes all the difference in the furnitures. While the floor is carpeted here, under it would be the luxurious 600 x 600mm marble tiles, which really brightens up the space as well.
When we take a look at the kitchen, we really like the counter and that doubles up as the basin area and counter top for a bar at home situation. The Poggenpohl kitchen really elevates the kitchen area with the muted colours that exude elegance. In addition, we also like how the Gaggenau integrated fridge matches with the kitchen area, making the area look seamless and gorgeous. They also pair well with the Gaggenau kitchen appliances that are high quality, making the cooking experience at home extra enjoyable.
When we reach the master bedroom, we like how it has ample space for walkway, even with the bedside furniture incorporated. The European white oak solid timber bedroom floor complements well with the room design, making the room look crisp, fresh and elegant.
Making a turn to the master bedroom, we love how the marble extends to the bathroom as well. The marbled walls and tiles matches well with the luxurious Italian Messi sanitary fittings, along with the high quality Duravit sensowash WC.
A cozy, high quality and elegant one bedroom suite – Riviere definitely performs well when it comes to this unit type.
Unit Analysis: 2 bedroom review
When it comes to the 2 bedroom review, we notice that the walkway has a greater space for the stunning Poggenpohl concealed pantry and storage cabinets as well, as it adds a touch of luxury that makes all the difference in the furniture. The floor here features a gorgeous 600 x 600m marble tiles as well.
We especially love the balcony area here, which is big enough to accommodate chairs and tables for a leisurely afternoon spent here. The view is greater too, unobstructed across the grasslands ahead.
Moving into the living room, we see how there is amble space for an elongated sofa, along with other furniture pieces as well. The seamless transition from dining to living room makes the area look large and spacious.
The dining table could sit 6 individuals easily, making it convenient for those that likes to host get-togethers with friends or festival gatherings.
The kitchen is also much more spacious – again, the Poggenpohl kitchen really elevates the kitchen area with the muted colours that exude elegance. In addition, we also like how the Gaggenau integrated fridge matches with the kitchen area, making the area look seamless and gorgeous. They also pair well with the Gaggenau kitchen appliances that are high quality, making the cooking experience at home extra enjoyable.
An addition to the 2 bedroom suite would be the Gaggenau combi steam oven, which is definitely a great addition to the kitchen space.
There are not much changes to the bathroom as compared to the 1 bedroom unit, but we like how the extra space allocated makes all the difference. With greater bathing space and walkway, the bathroom looks luxurious and elegant. The marbled walls and tiles matches well with the luxurious Italian Messi sanitary fittings, along with the high quality Duravit sensowash WC.
The master bedroom is now able to accommodate a dressing table, and the window walls makes the room look much more expansive and spacious.
Unit Analysis: 3 bedroom Review
When it comes to the 3 bedroom unit, we notice that the large 1,507 sq ft makes it able to accommodate numerous features and layout plans. For one, we appreciate how there is a private lift that connects straight to the foyer area, which is also delicately decorated with an gorgeous marble tiles, reflective walls and counter table.
When we reach the living room area, we are amazed at how the area expands smoothly across to connect to the dining area and the balcony. There is ample walkway to include creative furniture and decorations as well.
The balcony here has a larger space to accommodate two seating chairs and a coffee table, perfect for couples or family members to relax and chit chat over a leisurely afternoon tea here. There is also ample space to spread yoga mats for a invigorating yoga session as well.
The kitchen area is interesting as it has an island counter which coupled with the high chairs, makes it the perfect bar area as well. Behind it would be the kitchen area, which decks the same high quality Gaggenau kitchen appliances.
We also like how there is a utility room that is close by, for handwashing of clothing or for quick clean ups.
The master bedroom definitely stands out with greater space allocated for sofa couches, bedside tables and more. The ceiling-to-floor window walls also make it much more expansive, allowing sunlight in to make the room brighter and refreshing.
Other factors to consider: Location
We definitely like what we are seeing here at Riviere. Since Riviere is within walking distance towards Great World City MRT station, one of the greatest factors to consider would be how it is very close to numerous popular shopping options including the Great World City Shopping Centre, Concorde Shopping Centre as well as Valley Point. The area is still under extensive development and improvement, which can be a great investing factor to consider.
The Great World City MRT station links to the Thomas East-Coast Line, which will be an added travelling option for the residents. With regards to the Thomas East-Coast Line, you will be able to reach the famed Orchard MRT station within just one stop, meaning that you can enjoy the impressive range of shopping options within the internationally acclaimed Orchard road shopping district.
At the end of the day, it really depends on what are your priorities when it comes to pricing, location and unit layout preferences.
