The Art of Contrast in Nature.
We design landscapes that thrive in the interplay of light and shadow, texture and form.
Discover Your Garden's PotentialWhere Sylvan Meets Contrast
Our name defines our approach. 'Sylvan' represents our deep respect for the wild, untamed beauty of nature—the lush greenery and serene environments of Singapore's indigenous flora. 'Contrast' is our artistic tool. We design by juxtaposing carefully chosen elements: the vibrant play of light against deep shadows, the delicate softness of ornamental grasses against the rugged texture of stone, and minimalist architectural forms harmonizing with an abundance of tropical foliage. This creates gardens that are not just seen, but deeply felt—dynamic spaces that evolve throughout the day and across the seasons, offering continuous discovery and sensory delight.

Featured Gardens
A glimpse into the stunning spaces we've meticulously transformed in Singapore, showcasing our dedication to dramatic, artistic landscape architecture.
The Nassim Road Residence
Singapore
A sprawling contemporary tropical garden designed to create an expansive yet private oasis. We masterfully utilized large-leafed Alocasia and deep volcanic rock to forge dramatic textural contrasts, complemented by a minimalist water feature that introduces soothing ambient sounds, transforming the urban edge into a serene escape.
Duxton Hill Rooftop Bar
Singapore
This challenging project focused on maximizing the potential of a compact urban rooftop space. We engineered and installed a lightweight vertical garden system, integrating strategic subtle uplighting that makes the entire area feel significantly larger yet exquisitely intimate, particularly after dusk, creating a unique urban retreat.
The Bukit Timah Shadow Garden
Singapore
A previously shaded and challenging plot was meticulously transformed into a tranquil woodland walk. We carefully selected an array of shade-loving ferns and vibrant mosses, meticulously crafting a meandering path that thoughtfully captures the ever-shifting dappled light throughout the day, creating a dynamic and peaceful journey.
From Concept to Creation
Our collaborative and transparent process ensures that your unique vision for an outdoor living space is realized with unparalleled precision and enduring artistry.
Consultation & Site Analysis
We begin with an in-depth conversation to truly understand your aspirations, daily rhythms, and how you envision using your outdoor space. Concurrently, our team meticulously analyzes your site's unique characteristics, including soil composition, microclimates, sunlight patterns, and architectural context.
Conceptual Design
Our creative team translates our findings into initial conceptual designs. This phase includes inspiring mood boards, illustrative sketches, and early spatial plans that explore various possibilities for light and shadow play, textural contrasts, circulation, and planting palettes, ensuring alignment with your aesthetic preferences.
Detailed Master Plan
Once a concept is refined and approved, we develop a comprehensive master plan. This detailed blueprint includes precise planting schedules, sophisticated outdoor lighting placements, irrigation systems, material specifications for hardscapes, and complete construction documents, leaving no detail to chance.
Implementation & Management
Working with our network of highly skilled and trusted partners, we bring the design to life. Our team provides meticulous on-site supervision and project management, ensuring that every element, from the smallest shrub to the grandest water feature, is executed with the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship, on schedule and within budget.
