Gorgeous Garden in A Dense Urban Environment

This is a gorgeous garden in a house. It is the example for someone who wants to have a garden in a dense urban environment. Formwerkz, a Singapore-based architecture firm designed this space with maximizing the garden space on their 300 sq meter lot.  The result of this design includes a vertical living wall and green roof. The green roof serves to improve the building’s performance. It covers the carport and is planted in an artistic pattern which can be easily seen from the upper floor.

The vertical walls and roofs can be repurposed as growing spaces. There’s a boundary wall which was designed not only to protect the house, but is also a vertical planter. It has lush draping plants that face the sidewalk and street. On the upper level, the facade is protected by a planting system that acts as a curtain wall. This vertical garden acts as a privacy, rain and shade screen, which improves the building’s energy performance. There’re also staggered floors that lead eventually up to the roof deck and garden.
