Architecture unites design and nature in hotel with hanging gardens [gallery]

Any resemblance to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon is no coincidence, according to the Architizer website. Indeed, the building of the PARKROYAL Hotel in Singapore impresses tourists who do not expect to find a building surrounded by greenery in an eye-popping setting.

With a total area of ​​15, 000 square meters, the hotel has hanging gardens, swimming pools, waterfalls, terraces, open-air corridors, nurseries and living walls in a place that attracts visitors - as well as some birds and insects - and encourages biodiversity right in the heart of the city.

Project Details

Design Boom reports that the hotel design is signed by renowned WOHA Architects, a Singapore-based company. The architecture of the establishment has been highlighted by surprising its guests with beautiful gardens that sprout from each of the windows in naturally lit rooms that are 10 stories high. In addition to drawing attention to the sumptuous facade adorned with plants, foliage and flowers, the base of the building also features concrete layers that create waves and bring movement to the building.

Located on Upper Pickering Street, this beautiful garden that looks like it was built to house the hotel proves that it is possible to unite nature and architecture in a project that conserves the environment while still promoting sustainability through the conscious use of water and energy. electric
