520			_aThe design of the house is aimed to celebrate sustainable living lifestyle and to grow food for self-sufficiency. With multiple passive design strategies to create a low energy house, the house is covered by more than 40 types of edible plants. These plants are grown in concrete planter boxes which serve as both storm water retention and irrigation reservoir, are also seen as an urban landscape. Designed as a house for a retired couple who are passionate in growing food, the plants filled house appears less defined, as its appearance oscillates between garden, farm and house, anticipating for a redefinition of contemporary tropical house. The house with its cascading concrete planter boxes on every floor creates a strong visual contrast with the surrounding buildings. Its recessed frontage provides additional public spaces for inter neighbourhood interaction. Beyond the boundary, the first planter box is built around an existing jasmine tree. This planter serves an urban furniture, a connection between the couple and their neighbour.
