Lam Soon Singapore

Lam Soon Singapore wanted an edible garden where their staff could unwind and relax, either by gardening or simply enjoying the greenery (and the delicious harvests!).

The narrow space was activated into a productive farm, with both elevated beds and shrubs lining either side of the walkway, for both accessibility and visual interest. We used corrugated steel for the beds to blend in with the wider industrial landscape, while using pine bark for the floor plane as a way to soften the hardscape. Airy Planting around the edges balances out the mass of the planters, while also giving the sense of a softly enclosed area for people to retreat to They opted for a mix of different types of edible plants, from herbs to edible flowers and fruits like papaya and chilli.

This project is proof that there is no space too narrow to activate into a farm.
