The landscape design for this private residence brings together a diverse array of elements to create an ethereal, multi-sensory experience where sound, movement, colour and scent are simultaneously evoked. Shielded by a forty foot hedge, the site challenged us to create an exterior, yet interior, world where Asian and Western influences intersect. In honouring the traditions of Feng Shui, the retaining wall does not sit directly on the entrance. Meditation pathways lead to areas of retreat and socialization (including an outdoor fire, a restored pool and covered seating area). An ergonomic garden and potting station lined with fruit trees allows the client to grow her own plants and vegetables. A multi-leveled water feature is framed with lush camellias and peonies; the landscape is lined with evergreens and decorated with Chinese basalt and local granite. The multi-sensory design comes to life in the grove of Shirofugen cherry trees as it sheds its petals to the music of a custom Corten steel wind chime sculpture made by English artist David Harber. A weather station was placed on site for a month to determine the weight of the chimes—each one set to the pentatonic scale. This is a space where our clients can grow and evolve their lives with the seasons.

This is an example of a small contemporary partial sun backyard gravel landscaping in Other with a pergola.

Created a multi-level outdoor living space to match the mid-century modern style of the home with upper deck and lower patio. Porcelain pavers create a clean pattern to offset the modern furniture, which is neutral in color and simple in shape to balance with the bold-colored accents.

With the fast-changing climate conditions happening today, it has become common for the top interior designers in Singapore to recommend setting up mini gardens in homes and offices.
Apart from contributing to the green advocacy, mini gardens have certain perks in home and office interiors. They not only give a pop of colour in the interior space, but more importantly, they provide continuous fresh air circulation and help enhance the room’s lively ambiance.
The question is, how do you set up a mini garden, especially when you are living in the heart of the city?
If you are to ask the top interior designers in Singapore, you will most likely hear these tips:
1. Begin with potted succulents.
Succulents are great for beginners. If you happen to know almost nothing about gardening, then you can begin your journey by having succulents in your home. These plants are known for being low maintenance and can easily thrive in changing climate conditions.
Succulents, such as cacti, can be bought in small pots. You can buy a few of these and place them by the window or terrace, and water them only during specific day intervals. This way, they can grow and thrive as naturally as possible.
Once they mature, you can use your succulents as accents inside your home.
2. Work on a plant box.
If you have some seedlings that you want to grow, then it would be best for you to use a plant box. You can buy one in a gardening store and place it in an area that gets the most sunshine during the day (perfect if your room has a terrace).
You can begin by adding soil on the plant box and distribute it evenly. Afterward, you place the seeds and water them daily until stems start to grow. It may take some time for them to grow into full-blown plants, so you have to be patient.
You may also want to dedicate an area of the kitchen for plants. This is ideal, especially when you are planting herbs, so you’d have your herb garden.
3. Invest in a terrarium.
It is a common sight in most homes to have an aquarium filled with fish. However, if you have a green thumb, then you may want to invest in a terrarium instead.
A terrarium is like a garden where you grow plants and sometimes even trees, but under a controlled, contained glass environment. Here you can place plants and monitor their growth over time.
4. Grow a bonsai garden inside your home.
Meanwhile, if you are not a fan of plant boxes or terrariums but would still like to have greens in your home, then grow a bonsai garden. Bonsai is the Japanese art of cultivating miniature trees that were taken from actual tree branches, and are cultured to grow to a limited height and fit in a pot.
Plants are known to breathe life into any space. They prove to be an essential part of home décor and even home interior design because they help make the house livable and breathable. You may not have to spend on a lot of things that keep the air indoors clean, as your plants already to the job.
