Designed by Grant Associates and Wilkinson Eyre , Singapore ’ s Gardens by the Bay has become an exciting construction and vibrant space for visitors and locals to enjoy . With a number of horticultural displays , the build has transformed Singapore into a “ city in a garden ”, creating permanent areas of conservation through a continuous energy cycle

Spanning over 100 hectares , the gardens are split into three main areas : Bay South , Bay East and Bay Central , containing gardens , lakes and two self-sufficient glass biomes , Flower Dome ( 1.2 hectares ) and Cloud Forest ( 0.8 hectares ). The domes incorporate over 90,000 plants which are supported by several sustainable features .

Manmade Supertrees also enclose approximately 160,000 plants , with 11 out of 18 Supertrees containing inbuilt tanks which lead directly into the cooling of the domes , but also harness photovoltaic cells on their canopies to harvest solar energy . To support this further , lakes also incorporate a natural filtration and irrigation system , which is utilised to filter captured water throughout this energy cycle .
