Signature architecture that harmonises with nature

Its sensory gardens, framed by three intricate diagrid structures, harmoniously connect guests with the nature that surrounds them. The basket-inspired woven structures of the sensory gardens enclose guests within, inviting them to appreciate the curated landscape in their view, while also allowing for quiet contemplative moments.
Meanwhile, the versatile spaces offer up new opportunities for curated events and brand collaborations. As part of SDC’s efforts to collaborate with partners to elevate experiences on the island, SDC is partnering with Samsung Electronics Singapore to heighten photographic experiences to guests at Sensoryscape.
A plethora of immersive audio-visual experiences

Chris Lee, representing Serie + Multiply Architects:
“Our design for Sensoryscape seeks to strike a delicate balance between nature and structure, and openness and closure. The unique and delicate diagrid structures of the sensory gardens are calibrated to foster a deeper connection with the surrounding environment, and seamlessly blend the built structures with the island’s natural beauty. The lightness and leanness of the structures allow nature, views and light to permeate through whilst using the least amount of material necessary for construction.”
Keigo Miki, Project Manager, representing 1-10, Inc.:
“ImagiNite is an immersive offering that adds another dimension to the Sentosa Sensoryscape experience. While the digital light art projects are fun canvases for guests to interact and play with, the immersive augmented reality offerings take things up a notch, transporting guests to an ethereal realm of imagination. We are pleased to collaborate with SDC on this milestone project, and we invite guests from around the world to let their imagination soar at Sentosa Sensoryscape.”
