Key Architecture and Design Features

Overall Design

§         The overall composition of buildings, form and massing respond well to the existing fabric of Sentosa.  The architecture is human scale with a village-like festive ambience.  The site is well laid out, providing visitors with a clear visual orientation to key attractions and facilities.

Responsiveness to Tropical Climate

• The extensive use of water, landscaping and the choice of materials (such as stone and wood) reflect the tropical resort feel of the island. Most of the major attractions are also designed with canopies, covered walkways and landscaped features to enhance visitors' experience in all-weather condition.

Night Lighting

• There is attractive night lighting to highlight the architectural features of the individual buildings and character of different zones.
