Skyhome is actually a fusion of nature and modern condominium. The specification design of the condominium brings the residents near to the beauty nature, while leading their busy and modern life. For example, the infinity pool is designed with 100 ft overflow facing to the panoramic sea view. It gives one a feeling of swimming in the sea and can enjoy the sunset view as well while swimming in the pool. Besides, the developer of Skyhome also has ulterior motives for the residents, as all the rooms are designed in a shape of square so that the interior design work and furniture arrangement can be made easily according to the residents' desire. The developer uses quality material for building the floor, wall and ceiling of the condominium, and the ceiling height for each unit is standing at 12 feet floor to floor. Furthermore, the floor slab is thick enough (8 inches) to make the sound proofing better and the concrete construction is advanced post tension to ensure the long span capability. All these features are made just to ensure all the Skyhome residents possess a comfort, serenity, luxury and privacy home. When Batu Ferringhi was not developed yet, Tanjung Bungah used to be a place for Penang people to have outdoor activities like picnic and swimming. At that moment, the sea was so clean and everyone headed there for swimming and had some water-borne activities. This explains why there are two swimming clubs now located at Tanjung Bungah.Somehow, the quality of the sea water is deteriorating due to the improper way of sewage disposal. This pollution results a breeding ground of jelly fish here and the sea all along the northern belt is no longer suitable for swimming. If residents of Skyhome would like to challenge something new, they can simply come to the Penang Water Sport Center which just located nearby. The center offers kayaks and boats for rent, and one can try to row or sail all the way to Pulau Tikus, which is an islet off Tanjung Bungah. Due to the development of Tanjung bungah, it has become an upmarket residential area with numbers of super condominiums constructed here. On the other way, it has planted a good number of skyscrapers along the Tanjung Bungah coastline. The development tends to co-habit the Tanjung Bungah district with Malay village and Chinese community that has been there for decades.
