A year has passed since the launch of HomeTeamNS Bedok Reservoir, which has been a hit among HomeTeamNS members and the general public alike.
The five-storey clubhouse has welcomed more than 700,000 visitors since it officially opened on 4 January 2023. It is no surprise, either, that the new facility has been so well-received — after all, this labour of love was specifically created for Home Team NSmen, by Home Team NSmen.
To realise their vision of a state-of-the-art recreational venue that is both easy on the eye and the environment, the HomeTeamNS Clubhouse East Development Committee worked closely with consultants, architects, and contractors over the course of several years.
And their efforts have paid off. The clubhouse has earned the Green Mark Platinum certification issued by Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority, which evaluates buildings’ environmental impact and performance.
Among the reasons behind these accolades, are roofs made from high solar reflectance index (SRI) materials that reflect away heat from the sun so that less energy is required to cool the building, as well as energy-efficient lights and smart lighting systems that also play a role in reducing energy consumption.
Another highlight of the clubhouse is its smart digital capabilities. East Villa’s waterfront villas that overlook Bedok Reservoir, for instance, feature cardless access via a QR code generated on the HomeTeamNS Mobile App.
The use of smart technologies extends to the clubhouse’s multitude of exciting facilities. These include multi-level obstacle course Action Motion, which combines augmented reality with physical challenges, and features score tabulation through RFID wrist tags that track players’ progress at various recording stations.
