The Glades
The Glades at Tanah Merah
The Glades’ distinguishing features are its three impressive sky pods. The pavilions, Zen, Mediterranean and Tropical each have a unique roof structure. Decorated with a fusion of temperate and tropical highland plants, it evokes a sense of wonder and amazement.
To boost the development’s sustainability, we implemented the stormwater treatment system which comprised of two bioswales and an eco-pond, with ecotope plants used to cleanse water of various pollutants. Shrubs with fibrous roots were selected as it absorbs moisture from rain quicker and helps to stabilize its surroundings. With almost 20 species of plants, the eco-pond adds to the garden's rich diversity.
In 2017, we achieved the Gold Award for the Implementation of The Glades at the LIAS Awards, and the project was awarded the LEAF Award by NParks for the emphasis on sustainability.
