DESCRIPTION:

This renovation of an existing community park focuses on enhancing the user experience around the pond by upgrading existing facilities and planting design. A new node provides a scenic view of the park, and improvements to shelters, paths, lighting, and signage give the park a renewed vitality.  Planting around the pond has been enhanced to increase biodiversity, provide more shade, and to complement the new park facilities.

DESCRIPTION:

Planned on a 1.35 ha. site within Singapore Botanic Gardens this garden depicts the local historic introduction of ornamental and crop plant species and their uses among the early settlers of Singapore. The garden is both a visitor destination and a hands-on activity facility for the community and is designed as a depiction of an informal kampong style village. Working closely with Zarch Collaboratives to develop a first-rate interpretive storyline and visitor experience LD1 undertook extensive research to compile a list of species and planting arrangements that would have both educational and leisure value.
