This grand resort landscape housing 1800 guest accommodations,
along with conference rooms and ballrooms, are divided among six
hotels, each with a unique personality and function.
Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) is one such example of the luxury one can dream of.
It is one of the world's most extensive and expensive multi-recreational luxury park
at Singapore. This 3.5 million sqft of new global vacation destination has Southeast
Asia's only Universal Studios theme park, six hotels, casino, spa, 1600 seat theatre,
outdoor performance venues, retail, food & beverage outlets, convention centre,
one of world's largest marine life park and the maritime xperiential museum.
Designed by Michael Graves and Associates, the Resorts World Sentosa is one of the
first two projects to be certified with GoldPlus award from Singapore's Building and
Construction Authority's Green mark program.
The US$4.32 billion project was conceived in two parts: first, in the north-eastern
corner of Sentosa island, a Universal Studios theme park designed by others, which
finished construction earlier this year; then, just west of that,
Michael Graves & Associates(MGA) has been in the forefront
of architecture and design since AIA Gold Medallist, Michael
Graves, founded his practice in 1964. MGA has designed
many master plans and the architecture and interiors of
over 350 buildings worldwide, including hotels and resorts,
restaurants, retail stores, civic and cultural projects, office
buildings, healthcare, residences and a wide variety of
academic facilities. Resorts World Sentosa is a major
accomplishment for MGA - the largest project in the firm’s 46
year history, and the best example of its unique integrated
design practice, with master planning, architecture, interior
design, furniture, products and graphics all from the minds
of acclaimed designer Michael Graves and Principal-in-
Charge Patrick Burke.
