WOHA Architects' central proposition for PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering — that a hotel in Singapore's dense financial district could contain more greenery than the ground it displaced — announced itself immediately upon the building's completion in 2013. The facade cascades with sky gardens, ferns, and tropical plantings across every terrace level, the stepped glass-and-concrete massing appearing to grow rather than stand. Roughly 15,000 square metres of garden, pool, and planted terraces wrap the 367-room, sixteen-storey tower above Pickering Street, the layered horizontal bands of vegetation visible in the images giving the building its singular topographic quality — closer to a terraced hillside than a midrise hotel block. The pool deck, sheltered beneath those sinuous concrete overhangs and animated by large sculptural birdcage forms in cobalt and multicolour resin, distils WOHA's thinking about tropical urbanism into something genuinely atmospheric at dusk. Guest rooms take a quieter register: pale ash-toned timber panelling wraps walls and millwork in a continuous grain, floors in light oak, the seating areas dressed in amber and ochre velvet cushions against grey upholstery — a palette drawn from the warm tones of Southeast Asian rattan and natural fibre. The all-day dining restaurant introduces contrast through a grid-patterned mirrored and brass feature wall that fragments and multiplies the garden views beyond the floor-to-ceiling glazing, anchoring an otherwise restrained interior language with a single gesture of considered extravagance.
