ROOF TOP GARDEN
Patches of greenery in Singapore's Housing and Development Board (HDB) estates are popping up on the top decks of multi-storey car parks and on the rooftops of some residential blocks. Taking sky-rise greenery literally to new heights are the Sky Gardens at Pinnacle@ Duxton, Singapore's tallest public Housing building at 50 stories. These distinctive gardens, located on the 26th and 50th floors, are said to be the longest continuous sky gardensin the world, linking seven residential tower blocks together. In the works are plans to implement nine hectares of extensive green roofs – low maintenance rooftop greenery – over the next three to five years in existing HDB estates where rooftop gardens are not feasible.
