Modern Sophistication Meets Flourishing Greenery at Monarc by Gamuda Gardens Esteem

As the latest designer district by Gamuda Gardens Esteem, Monarc personifies the refined balance between nature and the modern man to offer a supremely luxe sense of living like never before.

The 90210 series. Rodeo Drive. Hollywood celebrities. Beverly Hills is not just the home of these iconic symbols of status and affluence, but also the source of inspiration for a new designer district tailored for the upper echelons of society. Going by the name ‘Monarc’, it features a lavish series of 16 bungalows and 78 semi-detached homes that overlook an enormous lake along a 50-acre pet-friendly Central Park. This residential oasis is set within Gamuda Gardens Esteem, an extravagant precinct in the township of Gamuda Gardens where gentle rhythms of nature entwine with modern luxuries.

Designed to be either lifestyle-driven or conventional-driven, the architectural expression for both directions executed in both types of abodes remains the same: modern minimalist for an elegant, timeless appeal. Flowing organically from one room to the next, the interior design plan exhibits harmony throughout the entire space.

Using the three-floor bungalows as show units, a grand first impression is made with a drop-off amid a lush green forecourt that affords the parking of 4 vehicles. Striking a ‘wow’ factor upon entry is the double-height living room looking out into the courtyard garden. One particular room on the ground floor can even be converted into a private altar room or an elderly-friendly bedroom.

Heading upstairs, all the bedrooms come with an ensuite bathroom. However, the master suite steals the spotlight with three designated zones: a reading corner, sleeping area and zen lounge with stunning views of the lake. Other than a huge walk-in wardrobe with space for a central cabinet, a secret study with the aforementioned view has been thoughtfully conceived for resident satisfaction.

Over on the third floor, the junior suite features a large bedroom with an attached balcony overlooking the lake. It also comes with a massive walk-in wardrobe that shares a space with a junior bathroom, illuminated by a skylight that invites plenty of natural light indoors.

Furthermore, the planning of Monarc is directly influenced by the site in order to take full advantage of the glorious views and strategic landscaping. In fact, Monarc has the benefit of a trapezoid site opening directly towards the perimeter of Central Park, granting uninterrupted vistas of this area to 4 units of Lifestyle Bungalows (60×120) and 12 units of Conventional Bungalows (60×120).

On the other hand, the Lifestyle Semi-Ds (8 units, 3 storey, 40×80 and 28 units, 2.5 storey, 40×80) are designed as dual frontage units with a rear opening to a landscaped linear park. The remaining Conventional Semi-Ds (12 units, 40×80 and 30 units, 36×80) are located closest to the entry of Monarc.

Aligning with Gamuda Land’s green initiative, Monarc is deemed a benchmark for Gamuda Gardens as one of the pioneers for Green Building in terms of landed residential properties. Sustainable landscape practices include the introduction of solar water heaters, water harvesting tanks and electric vehicle charging points. Moreover, 100% permeable materials were used for all landscape paths to improve flood mitigation while a careful curation of plants was incorporated for biodiversity enrichment.

Paired with upscale outdoor communal facilities, the landscaping is divided into the Centralised Community Zone, Active Zone, Passive Zone (comprises Serene Lakeside, Edible Garden and Poise Garden) and Pollinators Garden Zone. Each plays a unified role in serving the Monarc community, reinforcing Gamuda Gardens’ sustainable ethos and enriching the beauty of the entire area.
