Green Heart of the Country, Green Heart of the City: Wellbeing, Luxury and Sustainability, Urban and Rural

04/06/2025
AIM Architects' spectacular Spine Resort emerges onto its rural site like a cluster of ecosystems. Grandiose and intimate at the same time, the biophilic design dynamically balances architecture, nature and people, creating localized connections while framing panoramic views.
The core of Safdie Architects’ design for the new  Singapore EDITION hotel, blending luxury with modernism, is its seamless integration with nature. Sweeping vistas and lush greenery, from the sky park to the sunken garden, are everywhere. At the hqeart is a timber-decked garden courtyard, framed by shallow, black-tiled pools and tropical foliage. Light floods the corridors, plant-filled conservatory, and public spaces, creating a serene escape.
