Aqueen* Hotel @ Tyrwhitt Road

Ongoing (2016)

Aqueen* at Tyrwhitt Road is 1 part of 3 buildings forming the Aqueen Hotel expansion at Lavender Road. Once a series of three light industrial factories, a decantment exercise enabled the systematic programming of spaces within. The 1st storey consists of the concierge, restaurant, and carparks. The 2nd storey houses the main lobby for all 3 buildings amidst a lush landscape garden, while the 3rd, 4th and Attic Levels consist of 65 hotel rooms.

The massing follows the existing building’s outline with an added attic with a sloped roof following Urban Planning guidelines. Materials chosen were inspired by the industrial nature of the original landuse-type of the Jalan Besar Area.
