Key Architecture and Design Features

§         The design provides a memorable image for Marina Bay.  Distinctive design elements include the sculptural wave-like roof forms of the low-rise components, the Sky Park above the Hotel Towers and the ArtsScience Museum.  The grouping of the three Hotel Towers, together with the Sky Park, forms a powerful silhouette and strong “gateway” image to Marina Bay. 

§         The overall composition of buildings fits in very well with the existing and future developments.  The setting back of the Hotel Towers from the waterfront opens up an expanse of views to the city and the entire Marina Bay.  The spaces between the Hotel Towers frame views between Marina Bay and the Garden at Marina South.

§         The one-hectare Sky Park is a unique design.  It will provide a memorable experience and will be an attraction for visitors offering 360-degree views of the city, Marina Bay and the ‘Gardens-by-the-Bay’.

§         The ArtScience Museum can be likened to a “welcoming gesture” that invites people to Marina Bay. 

§         The hotel towers are angled to create a dynamic sculptural effect.  A soaring glazed atrium unites the three Hotel Towers.  The façade fronting the Garden at Marina South has fully landscaped balconies, extending the greenery vertically up the Towers.  This is an interesting contrast with the angled, glazed urban facades facing Marina Bay.

§         The overall planning, site layout and pedestrian circulation allows people to move about the development with ease.  The different components are well-connected and seamlessly integrated with the RTS Station, the Garden at Marina South and the Waterfront Promenade.

§         The public can look forward to many attractive public spaces within the development.  This includes the Event Piazza which can hold up to 10,000 people; the roof-top amphitheatre above the ArtsScience Museum; and the activity nodes within the multi-level Grand Arcade. 

§         The design reinforces Singapore's tropical “City-in-a-Garden” image.  The greenery extends over the building facades and roof terraces and into the atriums and circulation areas.  Large canopy structures and trellises over the Waterfront Promenade and Grand Arcade provide shade and bring about an intimate pedestrian scale.
