RESORTS WORLD SENTOSA


2006-2010
Sentosa, Singapore

Resorts World at Sentosa is a tour de force of design displaying the breadth of MGA's and MGDG's practices. The 3.5 million-SF integrated resort includes 6 hotels, casino, ESPA spa, 1,600-seat theater, outdoor performance venues, retail and food & beverage outlets, convention center, marina, marine life park and the Maritime Xperiential Museum. A Universal Theme Park occupies the adjacent property. MGA developed the master plan that helped the developer win the project, designed all of the buildings, most of the interiors, and, with MGDG, the signage, furniture and furnishings. One of the hotels, the Hotel Michael named after Michael Graves, is an entirely Gravesian experience. Rather than create a resort that looks as if it could be anywhere in the world, MGA emphasized the local tropical character and created an evocative context where buildings and landscape are integrated into a warm, family-oriented resort that both entertains and educates. Its environmentally sensitive design received a BCA Green Mark.
