Singapore's Jewel Changi Airport, which is expected to open in 2019, will feature a futuristic architectural landscape design consisting of an amusement park, a waterfall and even indoor clouds for holidaymakers.


But the amusement park and waterfall are not the only features the airport has to offer.  Visitors will also be able to see a five-story garden, hedge maze, bouncing canopy nets- all inspired by elements of nature.

The design of the indoor tropical garden is one that is enclosed in a contemporary glass and steel structure along with a 131 foot tall waterfall which will be named the Rain Vortex and placed right at the centre of the garden.
