Gold – Design & Build (Residential)
This Design & Build project is a 2-storey Good Class Bungalow with a basement. The landscape is thoughtfully designed to create a modern tropical living environment, incorporating lush planting as a natural privacy barrier while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic. A diverse palette of textural plants defines distinct garden spaces, creating a sequence of curated outdoor areas. Surrounded by greenery, the home is further enhanced by vertical and roof gardens, reinforcing its lush yet refined character. Located at a prominent curved T-junction along Chancery Lane, the residence is embraced by its modern tropical landscape setting.

Basement Green Terrace
Terraces of modern tropical landscape to spruce up the basement area bringing in diffused natural sunlight that compliments the granite stone cladded walls. Achieving the naturalistic theme requires an eye for curation, selection and knowledge of plants to ensure the whole planting palette thrives.
2nd Storey
The 2nd storey garden is planted with low-maintenance species, selected for their adaptability and ease of upkeep. The cascading form of the Phyllanthus Cochinchinensis softens the building’s facade edges.
Recreational Area
The curtain vine provide subtle screening and partitioning the open area by extending the sense of space beyond the recreational area. Partially shielding off the direct sun whilst providing more privacy to home owner. Sitting on the swing chair, owners get to enjoy the luxury of the natural curtain softening the backdrop.
