The design of the Green Wall House was driven by a vision to create a home that encourages green living in a modern context. The living and dining areas are designed with an open concept, seamlessly connecting them to the outdoors through large glazing and outdoor planting. The design capitalizes on natural lighting and cross ventilation, facilitated by open and double volume spaces. The highlight of the house is a nine-meter-high green wall, bringing nature into the intimate interiors of the bathroom, creating an ambiance of being connected with nature.
Casey Chua Kae-Shin's design stands out for its unique approach to sustainability and design. The family home was designed to cater to a family of four, with the primary requirement of being a contemporary home suited to the local tropical climate and sustainable. The green wall, a refreshing feature wall, is the main feature of the house, located on the dividing wall of the semi-detached dwelling.
The Green Wall House is not just a residential project but also a statement on sustainable living. The lushly planted vertical green wall, experienced in the bathrooms, offers a unique connection with nature. This feature, coupled with the open concept design, extends to the attic family areas and open terrace, reinforcing the theme of green living throughout the house.
