KRANJI

"In celebration of 's 50th Year of Independence" THE HIDDEN BEAUTY OF KRANJI By John Tan and Raymond Toh

Kranji is a suburb in the northwest part of Singapore, located about 22 km from the city centre. It is before the Straits of Johor – the strait separating Singapore from Malaysia.

Being the countryside, Kranji has the nature’s gifts - tall trees along the trails, lakes, swamps, and wild flora and fauna. It is peaceful and serene, quiet but full of life.

Upon passing the Kranji Lake, you are transported to a lush natural landscape that is home to many tropical plants nursery, orchid and agricultural farms, and nature reserve wetlands.

Brilliant colors are what you will be treated to by walking around the orchids grown in farms, surrounded by tropical plants and palms found in plants nurseries that are all over Kranji. Hidden within this nature outback are mangrove parks and secret gardens that bring together flora and fauna perfectly.

You can experience nature at its best with a trail that leads into a mangrove swamp with the water shimmering from the reflection of the sunlight that bounces off the stream.

The peacefulness and the serene nature is a perfect surrounding for the resting place of Kranji War Memorial, commemorating the 30,000 Commonwealth personnel who died in Singapore, Malaya, Java and Sumatra during the World War II. The soldiers headstones are prefect aligned in straight rows on both sides of a gentle hill.

Such distinct beauty inspired the garden, “The Hidden Beauty of Kranji”. It features tropical plants with orchids and a pavilion with aluminum stilts aligned on its side with vertical greenery complimenting it. A view across the hall shows a waterfall cascading over a green wall of ferns on to a pond and the lush greenery abundant around the stream. The roof has a garden that has creep- ers flowing down from inside of the aluminum stilts and a see-trough water basin giving a shimmering effect inside the hall.

As a dedication to Singapore’s 50th anniversary, this garden will showcase the best of Kranji – the unseen beauty that it has and the rich history that it holds. DESIGNERS' PROFILE John Tan & Raymond Toh
