One Balmoral, Singapore
Landscape Architecture / Residential / Urban
At One Balmoral, the lines between architecture and landscape have been deliberately blurred, resulting in the creation of a verdant urban sanctuary in the heart of Singapore. Entry to this luxury residence is through a green portal and into a lush courtyard of vertical living walls, covered with ferns, climbers and epiphytes. Landscape becomes architecture and a feeling of total privacy, relaxation and being at one with nature is achieved. The strong geometry of the swimming, stylised Lily ponds, cascading water features, walkways and day bed shade structures has been carefully balanced by the abundance of planting and the ever-present feeling of landscape and architecture being as one.
