We’re sure that you’d love to have a garden right in the middle of your living room if that was possible. We’re about to show you a house that abounds in greenery. We know that what’s too much is not always good, but for the nature lovers, this is like their private paradise.
The Sky Garden House in Sentosa Island, Singapore was designed by the creative Guz Architects that made reality another one of their great ideas. It was completed in 2010 and since then it’s been a fascinating thing for all the people in the area. Because the buildings in the neighborhood are built close to the sides of each house, a solid wall was built in order to maintain privacy.
If you miss going to the countryside where you usually get to enjoy all the greenery you want, it’s a lot easier to buy this house so you can receive your daily portion of nature.

Ah, the ultimate solution to urban living: buying a house just to pretend you’re in the countryside. Because nothing says “privacy” like a solid wall blocking out the neighbors you just paid a fortune to be near. Truly, peak modern convenience.
Ha! You nailed it. The irony is real, yet the design does strive to blur that line. We wanted to bring that countryside tranquility right into the urban fabric, proving you don’t need to leave the city to find peace. Thanks for the witty comment!
