Pan Pacific Singapore
Hotel, Singapore
The design for Pan Pacific Singapore breathes new life into an existing 30-year old building. The building structure was retained and revitalised and integrated with nature to create a new, graceful hospitality experience.
Interior elements were re-organised to respect the original geometry of the building, opening up the space which is layered with trees and landscape to create a sense of intimacy. The softly illuminated reimagined pods evoke a tranquil atmosphere akin to lanterns on water.

The reception flanks the lobby and now exudes a luxurious residential feel, anchored with a timber clad colonnade. All previous built-up was removed revealing its original volume, which continues into the lobby creating a unified space with the atrium.
Trees and landscape become design elements that conceal and reveal spaces, reinforces axes, creates shade, adding texture and colour in a manner that complement architectural and interior elements. The natural and tactile quality of materials and finishes are brought to the forefront, evident in the leather finished stone and expressed swirls of timber veneers. Wild and expressive marble such as ‘blue jeans gold’ are carefully selected almost as works of art by nature, providing contrast and colour against the overall serene palette.
