One rather attractive feature of the
One Pearl Bank condo are its allotment gardens. The concept of allotment gardens have been around for a very long time, but this is the first time it will be done vertically in a tower block in an urban setting.
Hence this represents a world-first - a series of allotment gardens stacked vertically at one corner of each tower block. There will be one such garden at every 4th level, and each will accommodate 11 plots. So in total, One Pearl Bank will 18 sky allotment gardens housing almost 200 plots.
Here, residents can grow their own organic produce - fruits, herbs, vegetables. These not only encourage healthy outdoor activities, apart from the fruits of your labour of course, but they also foster a sense of community and bonding among residents.
The gardens will be visible from afar, and help One Pearl Bank make a powerful visual statement on its biophilic design - one that integrates nature into the lives of its residents. In addition to the allotment gardens, there is the greenery from the 2 sky terraces and the 2 roof gardens, as well as the planters in each balcony. Altogether the building facade will indeed be a verdant one.
Initial reports are that the
showflat for One Pearl Bank will be near to the actual site, to be confirmed.
