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.

Reposting the great video by @kimlalinx
Nighttime view of the Hills and Valleys Skyscraper next to its neighbours in #shenzhen.
The design of this building brings sky rise greenery into the densely populated city with its 12 protruding “knolls”.
The silhouette of the knolls, outlined by plants during the day and lighting by night, extrude out - almost floating on the sides of the building.
Inspired by the natural landscape and mountain Parks of Shenzhen, they will introduce rich amenities and landscape into the skyscraper at a “human scale” that celebrates nature.
Design inception: 2014
Completion: 2019

#artfacade - Reposting our co-founding director @richardhassellart:
Another view of @forbesresidences in Applecross in Perth, Western Australia by @woha_architects and @mjastudio - the podium facade panels are based on the golden section, creating nautilus-shell-like spiral patterns and pleasing proportions. They have very shallow relief but in Perth’s painfully sharp light and strong shadows they read quite strongly, especially during the middle of the day. The colour is reminiscent of Perth Limestone, exposed in cliffs around the river and in buildings at the University of Western Australia. There is method in the madness of the different panels- the narrow panels allow for cladding the tighter radius curves.
.
The cladding can be seen as a descendant of textile-like cladding from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House to Perth’s Iwan Iwanoff combined with WOHA’s topographic contour architecture such as @parkroyalcollectionpickering

#beforeandafter: watch the plants grow at Pan Pacific Orchard.
The green columns at Pan Pacific Orchard anchor each terrace and visually connect the four vertical zones of the hotel.
Together with the landscaping on the terraces, the building replaces 300% of its site area with greenery. The selection of greenery echoes the theme of each zone (forest, beach, garden and clouds), bringing nature and biodiversity back to the city.
