A location like no other

Hillvista, home to 127 freehold apartment units, is located within the prestigious and serene Hillview residential enclave of 1 Elizabeth Drive. Its strategic position between the two nature reserves of Bukit Batok and Bukit Timah captures inspiring views of the distant tranquil lush tropical rainforest.  The close proximity to Bukit Batok Town Centre offers the convenience of food, shopping, recreation and entertainment amenities as well as access to the MRT.  There are convenient transport links to major roads and expressways such as Upper Bukit Timah Road and the Pan-Island Expressway.

The architectural strategy of Hillvista is simple and straightforward – to fully develop the potential of the site. 

Hillvista’s linear block is placed at a North-South angle to achieve a better living environment for residents by eliminating heat gain and glare into the individual apartment unit. The position also creates two main facades offering residents great views of the magnificent vista of the surrounding green, hilly landscape, and the pool areas at both sides of the block. 

Hillvista has a distinctive façade composed of generous bay windows and full-height windows in alternating sequence and depth of projection, and random glass balconies which feature elements of natural / elegant stone. The use of transparent, translucent, reflective and solid materials creates an ever-changing façade that responds to the lighting conditions of both the interior and exterior of individual apartment units. 

Inner Haven

The unique exterior is complemented by a warm interior that is lavished with exquisite finishes. The apartment layout is sensitively designed to enhance the resident’s lifestyle needs.  Spacious living and master bedrooms enhance the feeling of a resort suite. There is the option of an open plan dry kitchen that gives the kitchen the feel of a living space.  The versatility and open layout allows the space to be integrated into the dining and living areas to make cooking more sociable and create an informal space for entertaining. Space-efficient built-in wardrobes, a thoughtful kitchen layout and bathroom fixtures are all designed for the resident’s optimum convenience.  Planned and detailed bathrooms convey a sense of luxury and spaciousness.

Gate away from it all

Hillvista has lush tropical gardens as well as natural and serene spaces. At the main entrance, graceful poetry of water features  will enchant the sights. Wide varieties of colourful and exotic shrubs, each carefully cultivated, will delight the senses. Sculptured water features, timber decks and flowering vines all add up the experience of a unique and contemporary Balinese home.

Hillvista has four pools that reflect its Contemporary & Tropical Balinese theme of the rejuvenation of body, mind and soul. Each of these pools evokes the sense of relaxation associated with being in a luxurious, tropical Balinese resort. The clubhouse comes with a gym, lounge, steam room and changing rooms. Transparent full-height glass windows envelop the gym, bringing natural light and a view of the pool and surrounding greenery into the exercise space. Other facilities include dining ‘bale’ pavillions, children play area, fitness stations and foot reflexology area, all of which are nestled and integrated into the Hillvista landscape as focal points for friendly encounters. 

Hillvista, a distinctive landmark with a strong identity, is a truly visual delight in the peaceful and serene residential enclave of Hillview.
