Touching Eden House

If living amongst verdant trees and plant life is your cup of tea (it’s ours) then there’s a piece of architecture by the name of Touching Eden House in Singapore that is patently going to be right up your street. Designed by Wallflower Architecture + Design, this mesmerising and thoroughly relaxing piece of residential architecture has an enormous 1800m² of living space and it stands at the edge of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a century-old haven of tropical greenery and the city’s first UNESCO World Heritage site.

Nestled in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Singapore, Touching Eden House stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence between contemporary urban living and nature’s splendour. This architectural marvel in the City in the Garden reflects a design philosophy focused on seamlessly integrating natural elements into its very structure. A profound sense of tranquillity envelops you when you step onto the property. The ground gives way to meticulously landscaped gardens, where vivid flowers bloom and add a serene calm to all the home’s living spaces.

The house’s exterior design features modern privacy elements and sun protection, achieved through clean lines and large glass windows. These windows offer stunning views of the surrounding greenery. The choice of natural materials, including travertine, granite, earth-toned fabrics, and high-performance wood, creates a sense of harmony with the natural environment. The design incorporates spacious, open areas and floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing ample natural light to fill the rooms and seamlessly merge the interior and exterior spaces.

The architectural design of this home features a study and gym on the top level, offering panoramic views of the surrounding tree canopies. These elevated sanctuaries provide privacy and seclusion for focused work and rejuvenating fitness activities. The integration of hanging plants and a rooftop terrace creates a connection with nature, fostering a sense of well-being and holistic health. This unique environment nurtures both the mind and body, creating a harmonious balance for a fulfilling lifestyle.
