… Gardens by the Bay (eng) ENG - Bay South is the largest garden at Gardens by the Bay and it stands at 54 hectares located next to the Marina Bay Sands. The first phase of Singapore’s dramatic Gardens by the Bay project opens to the public on 29th June following completion of the 54-hectare £500m Bay South Garden by a world-class British design team led by Bath-based landscape architects, Grant Associates. Courtesy of Grant Associates Gardens by the Bay is one of the largest garden projects of its kind in the world. The Flower Dome provides an indoor environment for plants from the Mediterranean climate and the Cloud Forest is home to endangered species from tropical montane cloud forest.In addition to spaces for Singaporeans and tourists, the gardens are home to an increasing biodiversity including many birds, dragonflies, insects and the charismatic Smooth coated otters.Bay South has featured in many movies and TV programmes, not least in BBC’s Planet Earth 2 series when Sir David Attenborough described it as “perhaps the most spectacular example of city greening”. Ultimately, the site will total 101 hectares comprising three distinct gardens – Bay South, Bay East, and Bay Central. Designed by Grant Associates, Gardens by the Bay is one of the largest garden projects of its kind in the world. These gardens showcase the best of tropical horticulture and garden artistry. The Supertrees are arranged in clusters around the Gardens.
The Supertrees are a fusion of nature, art and technology and as such, are emblematic of the Masterplan approach. Meeting the needs of our society without breaching the earth’s ecological boundaries will demand a paradigm shift in how we commission, plan and design landscapes, cities, infrastructures and buildings. Completed in 2012 in Bedok South, Singapore. Each cluster has its own planted character and each Supertree has a specific environmental function.It was always intended that these Supertrees would include sophisticated environmental technologies and that they would be part of the life support systems for the Cooled Conservatories.It was also intended that these trees take on a distinctive night time character through the use of leading edge digital display and lighting technologies.The Supertrees have become highly sophisticated structures that are testing the extremes of horticulture, structure and digital technologies whilst offering distinctive visual landmarks within the gardens and neighbourhood. Located on reclaimed land in Singapore’s new downtown at Marina Bay, the site will provide a unique leisure destination for local and international visitors. It is the largest of the three gardens at 54 hectares (130 acres) and designed to show the best of tropical horticulture and garden artistry. Featured projects View all. In 2006 we led a competition winning team to design the 54 hectares of Bay South, Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. The masterplan is inspired by the orchid, the national flower of Singapore, and expresses the beauty of the orchid flowers through the exotic gardens and the physiology of the orchid through the sophisticated infrastructure for managing energy, water and waste.18 distinctive Supertrees and 2 cooled Conservatories provide futuristic landmarks and have been instrumental in shaping Singapore’s identity as a ‘City in a Garden’.
Bay South Garden opened to the public on 29 June 2012. Since completion in 2012, the gardens have become a global phenomenon and attract over 12 million visitors a year to experience the unique indoor and outdoor horticultural attractions. Together with mass flowering and coloured foliage landscape, they form a spectacle of colour, texture and fragrance within the Gardens, providing a mesmerising experience for visitors.
