Description of the Project: The Springfield Condominium was facing some waterlogging issues at the planter box located at the swimming pool and the design brief was to resolve these issues, including redesigning the entire softscape which benefited the residents that were using the swimming pool. The design strategy was to install drainage cells, geotextile and add in filtered soil mix and compost in order to improve the existing soil which was clayey in nature and caused the waterlogging problem. The planting scheme consists of an informal planting style with differentiated layers and textures which includes colourful and hardy plants such as Schefflera arboricola (cultivar), Tabernaemontana divaricata (dwarf), Rhoeo discolor. Flowering plants such as Heliconia ‘American Dwarf’, Heliconia psittacorum ‘Andromeda’ and a mix of vibrant Ixora shrubs such as red, pink, orange and yellow. The following photos documents the ‘Before and After’ conditions of the planter box and illustrates the layout of the entire planting scheme.



Various hardy and flowering shrubs were planted around the swimming pool to soften the architectonic edge of the planter box.



Plumeria rubra (cultivar) stood as an accent and a sense of place while informal and mixed planting of colourful flowering shrubs allowed innumerable and intriguing textures.
