We want 3, yes 3, 55-storey towers – and, while you’re at it, throw a 12,400 square metre skypark on the top… with an infinity pool, restaurant, gardens and a nightclub. It’s hard to imagine the briefing for such an ambitious, opulent project – yet, with the internationally renowned Safdie Architects on board, and a budget of almost 6 billion dollars, Las Vegas’ Sands Corporation achieved their goal – Marina Bay Sands, a start-of-the-art, 38 acre entertainment mega-complex that boasts nearly 1.3 million square feet of exhibition and convention space, 3 skyscrapers containing 2,560 hotel rooms and that unforgettable skypark, straddling the towers like, well, like nothing we’ve ever seen before. Whether you love it or hate it, are disturbed by its ostentatious statement of extravagance or just can’t wait to experience it… Singapore’s new icon is impossible to ignore…
