GREEN FEATURES AND INNOVATIONS
The building’s open-sided concept is configured to create maximum perimeter for natural light and views
Short building depth maximises the amount of daylight reaching internal spaces
High performance glass cuts out solar heat and provides an abundance of natural daylight
Green and blue glass is used throughout the property to improve
solar performance
Cascading greenery keeps the west-facing walls cool and reduces
energy consumption for cooling guestrooms
51% of guestroom corridors are reminiscent of attractive garden
spaces with natural light and fresh air
Roof terraces serve as recreational areas offering lush landscaping
for guests, as well as insulating the upper storey of the building from
direct heat gain
Above-ground car park removes the need for excavation, extensive
mechanical ventilation and artificial lighting
The extensive landscape areas are designed to be self-sustaining and rely minimally on precious resources –
water usage minimised by rain harvesting and usage of NEWater
RECYCLING AND RESPONSIBLE USE
Separate recycling bins for plastic, glass, paper and glass in all guest rooms, as well as throughout the hotel
ENERGY CONSERVATION
Photo sensors are strategically placed to monitor the light levels
Fire staircases are fitted with motion sensors to conserve energy
Built-in rain sensors in landscape areas to turn off irrigation when a minimum level of rain is detected
First development in Singapore built using the Cobiaz technology, a system that reduces concrete usage by
placing ‘void formers’ made of environmentally friendly recycled plastic
ENERGY AND WATER SAVING FEATURES AND TARGETS
Spaces such as external hotel corridors are designed to be
naturally ventilated to reduce the cooling requirements of the
building
The central chiller system is designed to maximise its operating
efficiency by incorporating various control strategies via the
Building Management System
Hot water system is designed to use air-to-water heat pumps with a coefficient of
performance of at least 4.5 (or better)
Demand-based controls are incorporated for ventilation systems to minimise energy
use
Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide sensors are used to control car park fans and
ventilation for air conditioned space
The building is designed to maximise harvesting of natural light for areas such as
the hotel corridors and lobbies
Energy efficient lamps (LED and T5 type fluorescent lamps) and water efficient
fittings are used throughout the building where appropriate
LANDSCAPE AND GREENERY
Fifty different varieties of plants have been used to create a
15,000m2 lush tropical urban high-rise garden.
A lush tropical garden with dense layered and large leaved
exotic planting like Monsteras, Alocasias & Calatheas
combined with ferns and palm varieties was used to create
the hotel-in-a-garden experience for the guests
A combination of shade loving textured ferns and partial
shade loving palms & shrubs were planted addressing the
varying natural light and wind conditions along the four sides
of the building
Flora species ranging from shade trees, tall palms, flowering
plants, leafy shrubs and overhanging creepers encourage
bio-diversity in the city
Tall multi-tiered Bucida trees with fine leaves and shrubs like Calathea lutea with broad and dense leaves
complement the contours of the building
Heliconias, Alpinias, tall and sculptural Frangipani trees –one of the most common flowering sculptural trees in
Singapore, and large leaved Ficus lyrata trees act as anchors and add colour to the overall garden scheme
Vietnam Leaf-Flower (Phyllanthus cochinchinensis) and Lee Kuan Yew creeper (Vernonia elliptica) are the two
types of plant species used for the cascading greenery
The vast greenery absorbs heat, shades hard surfaces and evaporative transpiration resulting in improved air
quality
Ferns, Mondo grass (Ophiopogon), Alocasia and Euterpe Palms were chosen to minimize the potential pest
attacks and lower the maintenance efforts
The extensive use of ferns & palms along the buildings ensure a low water xeriscape planting concept for most
of the planting areas
Auto-irrigation & fertigation system installed for all the planter areas ensure that through timer controlled drip
nozzles, slow, steady and precise amounts of water and nutrients are provided to the trees, shrubs, ground
covers, vines and potted plants
