The pipe-roofing method was used to construct the linkway between the TEL and NSL platforms. Installing the interlocking steel pipes to form a box tunnel required the first use of a retractable micro-tunnel boring machine in Singapore.{{Cite web |url=https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/newsroom/2018/7/2/factsheet-thomson-east-coast-lines-orchard-station-challenges-in-constructing-the-platform-link.html |title=LTA {{!}} News Room {{!}} News Releases {{!}} Factsheet: Thomson-East Coast Line's Orchard Station: Challenges in Constructing the Platform Link |date=13 February 2020 |website=Land Transport Authority |access-date=13 February 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200213071610/https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/newsroom/2018/7/2/factsheet-thomson-east-coast-lines-orchard-station-challenges-in-constructing-the-platform-link.html |archive-date=13 February 2020 |url-status=live}} This method was used to minimise impacts on traffic and on building structures above ground.{{cite web |last=Abdullah |first=Zhaki |title=New Orchard station's underground passage a major engineering feat, say LTA bosses |website=The Straits Times |date=13 July 2018 |url=https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/new-orchard-stations-underground-passage-is-major-engineering-feat-say-lta |access-date=15 July 2023 |archive-date=17 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230117032223/https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/new-orchard-stations-underground-passage-is-major-engineering-feat-say-lta |url-status=live}} The new box structure underneath the existing NSL station was constructed via the mining and underpinning method, employing specialised equipment that could drill in limited spaces and all directions.

Designed by SAA Architecture, the TEL station was intended to remain a distinctive transport hub in the Orchard shopping district while being integrated with the existing NSL station and surrounding developments. To improve wayfinding, the walls of the linkway to the NSL station were adorned in red and white pixelated prints, with the station platform and concourse in various shades of red. The stainless steel panels on the station ceiling reflect the constant movement of commuters, symbolising the vibrancy of the Orchard area. To blend into natural surroundings and minimise the impact on heritage trees, the five additional entrances of the TEL station were built into slopes and kept at a low height.{{cite web |title=Orchard Station |website=SAA Architects |url=https://saaarchitects.com.sg/projects/orchard-interchange-station/ |access-date=17 July 2023 |archive-date=3 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230703130740/https://saaarchitects.com.sg/projects/orchard-interchange-station/ |url-status=live}} The TEL station was constructed at a depth of {{convert|30|m|ft}}.{{Cite sign |title=Orchard Station |year=2021 |type=Infographic poster at TSL Project Information Centre |publisher=Land Transport Authority |location=Singapore}}
