(336) Waterfall KTPH - White Noise
One of the most powerful nature ambiences is the sound of a waterfall, which creates a natural white noise by creating a calming and refreshing atmosphere.
Moving water is “white noise” and can sound different to each person. Each individual can hear a different “song” in the water flow and it can act as a “white noise”. Natural water sounds activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps us relax and unwind.
KTPH "used nature as a healing process" through paying close attention to all the human senses. The rainforest-like landscaping that weaves in and out of the KTPH infuses the atmosphere with natural sights, sounds and scents.
Biophilic Design is a concept used in the interior design sector to increase the connection of users to the natural environment. This technique is claimed to have health, environmental, and economic benefits for space occupants and urban environments. The biophilic design focuses on human well-being.
The KTPH also utilizes cleansed water from Yishun Pond to create a naturalistic pond that flows from the entrance garden on level one to the basement’s courtyard garden, creating an artificial waterfall. The lush green garden surrounding the pond, it is also a natural habitat for butterflies, birds, fish, tortoises, and frogs.
