Wong Mun Summ of WOHA explains how the Singapore studio tried to recreate geological forms in the architecture of PARKROYAL on Pickering, which won the Hotels category at Inside Festival 2013.

PARKROYAL on Pickering by WOHA is a 367-room hotel on the edge of Singapore’s Central Business District, which features large balconies and terraces covered in 15,000 square metres of tropical plants.

“We wanted to create a hotel in a garden,” explains Wong. “We have achieved more than 200% of the site area in green replacement. So the green areas in the building are actually larger than the site itself.”
