Dedicating three-quarters of the land area for the outdoors was something the homeowners of the Borderless House had wanted from the get-go.

With over 15 types of feature trees strategically planted all over the sprawling 19,050sq ft (1,770sq m) compound, and the house itself occupying only 4,360sq ft (405sq m), the home is nestled within a mini park, allowing the owners to fully enjoy their garden and the outdoors.
