Boasting a garden that’s lusciously overgrown in all the right ways, the Cluny House in Singapore, by Guz Architects, makes perfect use of its expansive open courtyard. Mixing vegetation with a pond and a pool, the building effortlessly blends nature and technology to produce a family home that is both luxurious and sustainable. Photovoltaic cells and solar water heaters allow for passive cooling and cross ventilation to reduce energy usage, while irrigation tanks and roof gardens collect and recycle rainwater.
