The architecture is envisage as a series of floating boxes as a centre piece on a landscape canvas. The floating boxes are bay windows fitted with luxurious daybeds which guests of all room at the periphery will enjoy.
Grass pavers with infills of grass and pebbles are adopted around the site in replacement of the usual exterior floor material. Together with flowering trees like the Jacaranda Tree and other shrubs, colours are added to this landscape canvas.
In terms of site planning, the design challenge is to find a way to maximise the plot with the best land usage; the most efficient way to layout the hotel rooms to achieve the most rooms possible and most importantly the best spacial quality for the hotel.
To achieve the efficiency described, we derived a grid that will provide the guiding principal for the entire architecture. Not only does this grid organise the car parking and driveways in the basement and it also allows the hotel rooms and suites to be layout efficiently within this grid. In other words an order that fits all.
Pushing the functional spaces to the maximum periphery of the site, a courtyard of 33 x 31 metres was intentionally created as an inner sanctum of the hotel, giving it a sense of space and place, an oasis of surprise for any guest.
A canopy of organic form, an extension from the lush organic landscape of the courtyard, give the only hint to the surprise awaits.
