2006-2010
Sentosa, Singapore

The Hard Rock Hotel, a complex of guest accommodations with 360 keys, is located adjacent to the RWS Ballroom and Convention Center and various entertainment venues, creating a lively synergy of related uses. In this hotel, the tropical character of the resort’s architecture combines with dramatic light features that suit the glamorous, entertainment-based Hard Rock brand. The RWS Ballroom and Convention Center below the Hard Rock adjoin the Festive Grand Theater and share prefunction space. The 65,000-SF ballroom seats 7,300 theater-style and 5,500 for banquets. Its gridded ceiling with custom-designed star light fixtures, organizes the space, even when subdivided. The associated 30,000-SF meeting complex has a bright and airy interior open to private terraces and gardens. The Coliseum, a 1,014-seat theater for concerts and events is located on Universal Plaza at the eastern edge of the Hard Rock Hotel, where it provides visitors with an immediate, vivid impression of large-scale show business.
