In 1977, a striking Brutalist structure arose in the heart of Singapore. This building, now known as TripleOne Somerset, originally served as the Public Utilities Board Building. Its stark, geometric design stood in sharp contrast to the surrounding architecture. TripleOne Somerset has witnessed a dramatic transformation over the decades. It was renamed Singapore Power Building in 1995 when the gas and electricity operations became Singapore Power. A 2006 renovation gave TripleOne Somerset a sleek metal cladding, obscuring its original ceramic tile facade. The transformation continued in 2008 with another name change to TripleOne Somerset after its acquisition by YTL Pacific Star. This marked a shift towards retail, converting former office spaces, a cafeteria, a carpark, an auditorium, and lobby areas into shops and restaurants. TripleOne Somerset today houses a mix of office spaces, a variety of dining options, and even medical suites. Though sometimes overlooked amidst the Orchard Road buzz, TripleOne Somerset holds hidden gems, like its exceptionally well-maintained restrooms.
