Dedicating three-quarters of the land area for the outdoors was something the homeowners of the Borderless House had wanted from the get-go.
With over 15 types of feature trees strategically planted all over the sprawling 19,050sq ft (1,770sq m) compound, and the house itself occupying only 4,360sq ft (405sq m), the home is nestled within a mini park, allowing the owners to fully enjoy their garden and the outdoors.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.

About 75% of the land area of the Borderless House is set aside for outdoor space.
The house compound has over 15 types of feature trees and other shrubs, creating a park-like atmosphere.
The common living area is generally shaded from direct sunlight, with the central pool providing soothing sounds to the space.
Each of the five bedrooms has its own semi-private courtyard.
Full-height glass doors allow plenty of natural light and fresh air to flow through the living spaces at the Borderless House.
The main entrance of the Borderless House references the Barcelona Pavilion, a structure considered as one of the most influential modernist buildings of the 20th century.
The Borderless House maintains a connection to its neighbours through the use of offset planters that line the perimeter fencing walls to create a more inviting atmosphere.
The building features scattered yet connected structures of walls, floors and roofs that allow users to create their journeys and memories.
