Narra Residences

Narra Residences: A New Residential Haven Amidst Nature

Narra Residences is a forest-inspired residential development nestled within the tranquil Dairy Farm enclave, beside the reservoir and forest reserve. Surrounded by low-density housing and protected greenery, the site offers a rare retreat-like setting where residents enjoy privacy, calm, and direct access to nature, without feeling cut off from city conveniences. The gently undulating terrain and mature trees shape the character of the land, allowing the architecture to sit sensitively within its environment rather than dominate it.

Conceived as a modern Forest Retreat, the development draws inspiration from three defining elements of its natural context — the Quarry, the Forest, and the Reservoir. These elements influence the material palette, vertical proportions, and landscape design. The quarry informs the use of strong, stone-like textures and tones. The forest guides the architecture’s slender vertical rhythm, echoing the surrounding tree lines. The reservoir introduces cascading landscape features and water elements, which soften the built form and bring a calming sense of movement throughout the grounds.

Landscape design plays a central role in shaping the living experience. Greenery, water features, and open communal spaces form a continuous connection between architecture and nature. Light and shadow shift across the facades and gardens throughout the day, creating an environment that feels dynamic yet deeply calming. The entire concept of Narra Residences follows the guiding philosophy of “Forest at Heart. Refined by Nature,” where every detail supports a strong emotional and visual connection to the surrounding environment.

Project Details

Developed by Dairy Farm Walk JV Development Pte Ltd, Narra Residences will comprise 540 residential units across seven blocks, along with four commercial shops and a full suite of communal facilities. The development sits on a 21,881.10 sqm site with a gross plot ratio of 2.25 and includes a basement car park with 546 vehicle lots. Designed by P&T Consultants with landscape architecture by Ecoplan Asia, the project blends modern planning with nature-led design, setting a new benchmark for forest-side living within the Bukit Panjang planning area.

The site, Dairy Farm Walk GLS plot under the Confirmed List of the 1H2024 GLS programme, was awarded at S$1,020 psf ppr to a consortium of SNC2 Realty Pte. Ltd., Apex Asia Alpha Investment Two Pte. Ltd., Soon Li Heng Civil Engineering Pte Ltd and Kay Lim Realty Pte. Ltd. on 21 January 2025. It follows the successful tendering of two other GLS sites – later developed into Dairy Farm Residences and The Botany at Dairy Farm.
