Living In A Grid

SENTOSA COVE IS a treasure trove of eye-catching houses. There's one that looks like a futuristic temple flanked by two statues of the Egyptian god Anubis. There are also award-winners such as the one with a wavy rooftop garden featuring large overhanging eaves that's perfect for tropical living.

And then there's the grid-like facade created by Lim Shing Hui, who can now add her name to the list of architects who have created a distinctive landscape for the gated residential community.

The founder of L Architects decided to eschew conventional flat exteriors and created a 3D-like facade instead for her Sentosa Cove client's home.
