The conceptual landscape of By The Sea evokes the nostalgic charm of a seaside kampung , or village , and fosters a sense of community living . As such , all three blocks are surrounded by a rustic landscape of lushly planted gardens comprising betel nut , saga and coconut trees . There are garden courtyards , and a strolling path by a natural river running right through the centre . In and around the shady landscape of tropical palms and plantings , there are ample quiet pockets complete with outdoor benches and hammocks to work in amidst the heady experience of a tropical seaside landscape.
