Touching Eden House

[English text below, provided by architects] Touching Eden House merupakan hunian yang tersembunyi di balik sulur tanaman dan pepohonan hijau. Berdiri di tengah rimbunan tropis, rumah ini memancarkan keindahan alami yang terasa hidup. Cahaya matahari yang menembus dedaunan menciptakan permainan bayangan yang indah di fasadnya, memberikan sentuhan cahaya keemasan yang menawan.

Terletak di tepi Singapore Botanic Gardens, situs Warisan Dunia UNESCO pertama di Singapura, rumah ini menjadi tempat yang tenang dan damai. Meski berada di pusat kota, Touching Eden House menunjukkan bagaimana kehidupan urban bisa berpadu harmonis dengan alam dalam konsep City in a Garden.

Desainnya mengutamakan integrasi antara elemen arsitektur dan alam. Dari taman yang tertata rapi hingga bunga-bunga berwarna cerah, suasana tenang langsung terasa saat memasukinya. Eksterior rumah memadukan keindahan modern dengan perlindungan dari matahari tropis. Jendela kaca besar menghadirkan pemandangan hijau yang menyejukkan, sementara garis-garis desain yang bersih menjaga kesan privasi.

Di dalam rumah, material seperti kayu, granit, dan kain berwarna alami menciptakan suasana hangat dan nyaman. Cahaya alami yang masuk melalui jendela besar membuat interior terasa lapang dan seolah menyatu dengan lingkungan luar. Di lantai atas, ruang kerja dan gym menawarkan pemandangan kanopi pepohonan, memberikan tempat yang tenang untuk bekerja atau berolahraga sambil terhubung dengan alam.

Touching Eden House adalah perpaduan sempurna antara keindahan alam dan kenyamanan modern. Didesain oleh pemilik visioner bersama tim ahli, rumah ini merefleksikan harmoni antara manusia dan lingkungan di setiap sudutnya. Sebuah tempat yang tidak hanya menjadi hunian, tetapi juga ruang untuk merasakan keajaiban alam. (uci)

Touching Eden House

Touching Eden House, a house stands cloaked in vines and vegetation, nestled amidst a tapestry of lush green overgrowth. Sunlight, filtered through the verdant canopy overhead, casts a mesmerizing play of shadows on the façade. As daylight spills through the foliage, it bathes the mansion in a golden glow, revealing its regal allure.

A haven of tranquility and serenity nestled amidst lush greenery and embraced by nature’s gentle graze, Touching Eden House stands at the edge of Singapore Botanic Gardens, a century-old haven of tropical greenery and the city’s first UNESCO World Heritage site. Located in the heart of urban Singapore, it is a testament to the harmonious coexistence between urban living and nature in our City In The Garden.

The design philosophy of Touching Eden House revolves around seamlessly integrating natural elements into the structure. From the moment one sets foot on the property, a sense of tranquility becomes palpable. The ground opens to meticulously landscaped gardens, where vibrant flowers bloom and whispers of the wind fill the air. The exterior of the house boasts a veil of contemporary privacy and sunscreen, supported by clean lines and large glass windows that provide breathtaking views of the surrounding greenery.

Upon entering Touching Eden House, one is greeted by an interior that exudes warmth and calm. The use of natural materials such as travertine, granite, earth-toned fabrics, and high-performance wood creates a sense of harmony with the surroundings. The design incorporates large open spaces and floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing abundant natural light to flood the rooms and blur the boundaries between inside and outside.

The study and gym, strategically positioned on the top level, unveil panoramic views of the surrounding tree canopies. These elevated sanctuaries offer a secluded and serene home office environment, allowing for complete immersion in work and fitness amidst nature’s embrace. This transformative experience nurtures both the mind and body. Hanging plants cascade from the rooftop terrace and down the sides of the home, creating a curtain of greenery and infusing the atmosphere with whimsical charm.

Touching Eden House is an ethereal retreat where dreams unfurl and the magic of nature seamlessly intertwines. Brought to life by a visionary owner, consultants, specialists, and tradesmen conscientiously craft this dream dwelling. The magical alchemy of harmoniously blending human habitation with natural splendor is evident. The walls of this sanctum are intricately interwoven with the beauty of nature, making Touching Eden House a haven of wonder and an enchanting home both day and night.
