PARKROYAL on Beach Road
Landscape, Singapore
The landscape design strategy at PARKROYAL on Beach Road is rooted in the idea of creating a sanctuary that reflects a distinctive Asian calmness and exuberance, expressed through a thoughtfully curated aquatic landscape.
A resort-like feel is achieved through the careful layering of greenery, water, and structure—creating a space that feels both luxurious and naturally immersive. Daybeds nestled within beds of green offer secluded spots for relaxation, allowing guests to unwind in comfort while remaining connected to the landscape.
A diverse selection of plant species native to Singapore forms the backbone of the design, supporting biodiversity while celebrating local ecology. Trees and shrubs with drooping, graceful forms—such as weeping willows and pennisetum—enhance the serene ambiance, while pollinator-attracting species like passiflora and melastoma invite butterflies, bees, and birds into the landscape. The vibrancy of the space is further amplified with bold accent plants such as Livistona eudauensis, adding explosive drama and texture through the foliage. Aquatic-friendly species like artemisia and the monarch fern (Microsorum) blur the boundaries between planting and water, reinforcing the immersive, garden-like character of the pool environment.
Altogether, the landscape offers a harmonious blend of serenity and vitality, transforming the poolside into a lush, living retreat.

Anchor trees are strategically introduced throughout the expansive pool deck to create focal points that not only draw the eye but also break down the large floor plate into a more intimate, human-scale experience.
As one meanders along the pool, the view is gently guided toward these sculptural trees, inviting moments of pause and appreciation for the tranquil pockets of space nestled within the lush planting.
