Situated in a beautiful foliage-dense environment, the team at MMX chose to incorporate the indoor and outdoor environments into one, creating more space while giving the sleek platform design a little more warmth. Meant for a single family, the residence features a stacked design, with the different rooms connected by covered walkways and open platforms. Suspended gardens are brought up onto the home's upper storyeys, seamlessly connecting the multi-floor design with the surrounding greenery. Most rooms in the home boast large floor to ceiling windows, further enhancing the integration of the indoor and outdoor environments.
