HOTEL & RESORTS

A sculpted waterfront oasis where architecture, landscape, and leisure converge—this curvilinear pool embraces the marina beyond, framed by a rhythmic grove of palms and anchored by a striking lattice pavilion. Floating lounges and sculptural elements create a resort-like atmosphere, while the open horizon and moored yachts extend the experience to the coastal edge.

This project marked the debut of W’s first marina hotel in Singapore. This page highlights the front water feature as a representative example of a design process that is thoughtfully studied and meticulously carried through each stage of field construction. The same approach can be applied throughout the entire landscape.

This rooftop garden is structured through a sequence of outdoor rooms—pool terrace, shaded pavilion, and planted slopes—each carefully composed to balance openness, intimacy, and visual connection to the surrounding landscape.

The lobby water feature was carried out well outside the swimming pool.
