ANNEX

Twinkling & Sparkling Exterior
• The erection of “Jewel Box” exterior with the tree motifs structure cladding the existing building structure. This amazing façade will be lit with “twinkling” star-lights and changing colour washes, depending on the occasion.

Glass Drum Feature with Sandstone Walls
• The construction of a glass drum feature on top of the tree-like canopy structure, serving the new entrance to the lobby with coloured lighting changing options available, depending on occasion. The continuous “sandstone-textured” wall that spans both sides of the glass drum, across the façade of the entrance exudes a tranquil atmosphere among the lush surroundings.

The ‘Enchanted Forest’ Lobby
• Enhancement to the lobby and foyer area with the utilization of tree motifs and organic materials to provide a somewhat enchanted forest and rustic ambience.

Plush Ballroom with Splendid Harbour View
• The new ballroom that boasts a 300 banquet style seating capacity with floor to ceiling glass windows providing a splendid harbour view. The walls on both sides will be lined with off-white colour twisted aluminum strips, which will be back-lit with interchangeable colour washes. The high ceiling will be painted in complete black with white flat circular lights suspended on top.

The Ultimate “Rest & Relax” Locale
• State-of-the-art restrooms with a spectacular Singapore harbour view and special faucet design that allows water to flow out in sheet as well as frosted cubical doors and partitions with leaf impressions.

Tree Motif Graphic Background for Grand Lobby Lighted Staircase
• A lit grand staircase leads from the lobby to the souvenir shop on the second floor with back lit tree motif graphic background.

Open Concept Faber Forest Retail Outlet
• The new souvenir shop will be an open concept with random placement of shelves and display pods to encourage space. The attractive centre piece will be a gargantuan tree in the middle of the outlet while the walls will be highlighted with 3-D abstract tree-like structures to double-up as display racks.

Magnificent City Skyline from Timber Deck Extension
• The extension of a timber deck that spans on top of the existing driveway will provide a new setting to take pleasure in the breathtaking Singapore city skyline.

A New Cable Car Ride Experience
• The cable car station will be refurbished with new tunnels that envelope the cable car cabins during taking-off and touching-down. The tunnels create a sensation of traveling through a tropical rainforest with pulsating warm light sources that is programmed to glow intermittently and sporadically, mimicking the effect of natural sunlight piercing through lush foliages and leaves.
