When staying at a high-rise hotel in downtown Singapore, you’d guess that your view would be that of a normal city: bustling people, traffic and lights. But the Parkroyal on Pickering offers a very surprising sight from its guest room windows: a dizzying view of curved sculptural terraces below teeming with lush and tropical plants.
Designed by WOHA, local architects who are invested in green initiatives, the included gardens actually double the amount of vegetation on the grounds of the building, according to Arch Daily. And they aren’t the only notable architectural features. A gravity-defying infinity swimming pool on the fifth level with colorful birdcage cabanas are also eye catching.
