The grounds
Eight gardens, one for each element
43.55% of the site is communal open space and a quarter of it is planted ground.
The eight garden treasures
The landscape is zoned, and the zones are numbered
The developer's site plan divides the grounds into eight themed zones, each named for an element and each numbered in sequence as you move through the estate. The numbering below is the site plan's own, not a device — Zone 1 is what you meet at the gate and Zone 8 is at the far end.

Water
A 50m lap pool, and two more besides
The lap pool runs 50m by 6.7m along the Water Garden, with hydrotherapy jets and an aqua deck beside it. The Air Garden holds the family pool, the Cloud Waterplay for children, a water trellis and a jacuzzi. In the Stone Garden, the Whispering Pond falls over a waterfall into the quarry lawn.
The developer counts three water facilities in total: the 50m lap pool, the family pool and the Cloud Waterplay.
The clubhouse
Three storeys, with the car park underneath
Visitors arrive at a basement drop-off and come up through an air-conditioned lift lobby. The management office sits on the same level. Level 1 holds the function room, level 2 the gym, and the glass facades on both faces open the building onto the Earth Garden beside it.
Above the drop-off, a grand roundabout water fountain marks the end of the boulevard, and a framed portal beneath the clubhouse carries residents on into the estate.
The site plan
How the eight zones sit on 290,520 sq ft
The estate is entered from Belgravia Drive at one end, and the 100m boulevard runs the length of the site to the clubhouse and the roundabout. The houses are arranged around the open communal spine rather than along a grid of internal roads, which is what leaves room for 43.55% of the site to be communal open space, 25.55% of it planted ground.
Pedestrian side gates open onto Belgravia Drive and Stratton Road. Vehicles come in and out on Belgravia Drive only. The estate is gated, with 24-hour security and CCTV.
The site measures 26,990 sqm, which the developer states as 290,520 sq ft, and is 235m wide.
Sculpture
The Aces, and some kinetic wind pieces
Threaded through the landscape is a set of commissioned sculptures: The World at Your Hand, a series of Aces — The Final Ace, The Second Ace, 3rd Ace and 22 Century Ace — kinetic wind sculptures from Canada's Steffich Fine Art, and The Waves, a five-fish-element piece.
