Dusk view of the beach terrace at the Pan Pacific Orchard hotel in Singapore. The beach terrace is a tropical oasis with an organically-shaped emerald lagoon, meandering sandy beachfront and palm groves floating in the open-air, cross-ventilated yet sheltered sky terrace.
The mirrored ceilings reveal the landscape and activities to the street below. The lofty voluminous space functions as giant sunshades to the terrace and rooms, while the reflective ceilings act as thermal mirrors, providing radiant cooling by doubling the surface area of gardens and water.
Pan Pacific Orchard is a vertical oasis in a dense district where concrete, glass and steel dominate the cityscape. It is growing more lush by the day. The design of the hotel allows the city to embrace the building as a vertical garden,showing that the built environment can and must co-exist with nature.
Pan Pacific Orchard is in the running at the Travel + Leisure Luxury Asia Pacific Awards, both in the “Hotels” and “Hotel Pools” category.
