Just 15 years ago, few could have imagined that the quiet eastern shore of Sentosa would one day become the crowning glory of luxury living in Singapore. Land that was once marked by no more than a few groves of coconut trees is now home to the prestigious gated communities and signature bungalows of Sentosa Cove, Singapore's first and only oceanfront marina residential community. This lavishly illustrated volume tells the story of how Sentosa Cove rose on the back of the vision, ambition and inspiration of the pioneering few who saw its potential, and provides a showcase to the stunning design and cutting-edge architecture that epitomise the development. Evocative images and descriptive passages provide a guide to an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the lush landscape and waterfront homes of this tropical residential resort, and a glimpse into the privileged lifestyle of its international community. This stylishly presented book will appeal to those interested in resort development, architects and designers, and photography-lovers.
