Your Singaporean luxury residence should be more than just a collection of opulent furnishings and exquisite finishes. It should be a haven of comfort, a sanctuary for relaxation, and a space that nurtures your overall well-being. At Living Abode, we believe in the power of wellness design. By incorporating the principles of biophilia – our inherent connection with nature – we craft spaces that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being, transforming your Singaporean home into a true oasis of serenity.
The Science of Biophilic Design
Biophilic design goes beyond mere aesthetics. It's a science-backed approach that recognizes the positive impact of nature on human health and well-being, whether mental or emotional wellbeing. Studies have shown that exposure to natural elements can:
Reduce stress and anxiety
Improve mood and cognitive function
Enhance feelings of calmness and relaxation
Increase creativity and productivity
Support better sleep quality
Harnessing the Power of Nature for Mental & Emotional Wellbeing
At Living Abode, we integrate biophilic design principles seamlessly into your Singaporean luxury home:
Maximizing Natural Light: Singapore boasts an abundance of sunshine. We prioritize maximizing natural light through strategic window placement, skylights, and light shelves. Natural light not only brightens your space but also regulates your circadian rhythm, promoting better sleep and overall well-being.
Embracing Biophilic Elements: Bring the outdoors in with natural materials like wood, stone, and organic textures. Consider incorporating living walls, strategically placed indoor plants, or calming water features like fountains. These elements create a connection with nature and promote a sense of tranquillity.
A Symphony of Calming Colours: Colours play a significant role in setting the mood of a space. We utilize calming colour palettes inspired by nature. Think soothing greens and blues that evoke feelings of peace and serenity, or warm earth tones that promote feelings of groundedness and comfort.
Creating Sensory Experiences: Engage all your senses to create a truly immersive and restorative environment. Consider textured fabrics for a sense of touch, calming scents like lavender or chamomile to promote relaxation, and even the gentle sounds of nature to create a peaceful ambience.
Beyond the Basics with Personalized Wellness Design
Living Abode recognizes that wellness is a personal journey. We take the time to understand your unique needs and preferences when designing your space:
Identifying Your Needs: Do you crave a dedicated yoga or meditation space? Do you require a home gym that promotes a healthy lifestyle? We tailor the design to incorporate elements that support your specific wellness goals.
Creating Designated Zones: Your home should cater to different moods and activities. We design spaces that promote relaxation like a calming bedroom or a rejuvenating spa-like bathroom, alongside areas that energize you, like a well-lit home office.
Smart Technology Integration: Smart technology can enhance your well-being. Consider features like automated lighting systems that mimic natural light cycles, smart thermostats for optimal temperature control, or even apps that curate calming soundscapes.

Enhancing Your Wellbeing Journey
Creating Outdoor Retreats: Singapore's vibrant outdoor living scene extends into the evenings. Consider incorporating biophilic design principles into your balcony, patio, or rooftop terrace. This could involve incorporating planters for a touch of greenery, comfortable seating for relaxation, and even installing a water feature for a calming effect.
Mindful Décor: Curate your space with artwork and décor that evokes a sense of peace and tranquillity. Consider pieces depicting natural landscapes, calming abstract patterns, or inspiring quotes that promote well-being.
Sustainable Practices: Living a good life often goes hand-in-hand with living sustainably. At Living Abode, we prioritize eco-friendly materials and practices, ensuring your home is not only beautiful but also healthy for you and the planet.

Now, extending the biophilic design principles outdoors allows you to seamlessly integrate your Singaporean home with its tropical surroundings. Here, Living Abode can help you create a calming and low-maintenance landscape that enhances your overall well-being:
Designing Your Outdoor Oasis:
Maximizing Space: Singaporean balconies, patios, and rooftops may be compact, but thoughtful design can create a tranquil escape. We can help you design vertical gardens with easy-to-care-for plants, utilize space-saving planters, and incorporate strategically placed furniture to maximize your outdoor living area.
The Power of Water: The sound of trickling water is incredibly calming. Consider incorporating a small water feature like a fountain or a water wall. These not only add a touch of serenity but also create a visual focal point and attract beneficial wildlife like birds.
Plant Selections for a Low-Maintenance Paradise:
Singapore's hot and humid climate thrives with a variety of plants that require minimal upkeep. Here are some popular, low-maintenance plant choices for your Singaporean landscape:
Air Plants (Tillandsia): These trendy and unique plants thrive on minimal water and humidity, making them perfect for hanging planters or terrariums.
Ferns: Singapore's tropical climate is ideal for ferns. Varieties like Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus) and Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum) add lush greenery with minimal effort.
Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum): A classic favourite, the Golden Pothos is nearly indestructible. It thrives in both shade and partial sun and requires minimal watering.
Snake Plants (Sansevieria): One of our favourites and Nasa too! These architectural wonders are known for their air-purifying properties and incredible tolerance for neglect.
ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia): Another champion of low maintenance, the ZZ Plant boasts glossy foliage and thrives in low-light conditions.
Palms: Palm trees add a touch of tropical luxury to any space. Consider easy-care varieties like the Kentia Palm (Howea forsteriana) or the Bamboo Palm (Chamaedorea).
Additional Tips for a Flourishing Landscape
Climate Considerations: Select plants that thrive in Singapore's hot and humid climate. Opt for shade-loving varieties if your balcony receives minimal sunlight.
Right Plant, Right Pot: Ensure your chosen plants are placed in pots with proper drainage to prevent root rot.
Mulch Magic: A layer of mulch helps retain moisture and suppress weed growth, reducing maintenance needs.
Regular Maintenance: Even low-maintenance plants benefit from occasional watering and pruning. Consider scheduling a bi-monthly maintenance service to ensure your landscape continues to flourish.
By incorporating these landscaping tips and plant suggestions, Living Abode can help you cultivate a tranquil and low-maintenance outdoor space that seamlessly blends with your biophilic design philosophy.
