MOST LANDED HOMES have a garden on ground level. But this corner terrace in Bukit Timah has a garden on each on its three levels - which may look good but also means major punishment for the designated gardener assigned to do all the watering.
That's why when the aptly named Wallflower Architects proposed bringing greenery to the upper floors, its client the Lim family was initially hesitant to accept the idea.
