Marina Bay Sands and its rooftop SkyPark in Singapur
Published on 09/11/2026 at 08:38 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Marina Bay Sands in Singapur is defined by three hotel towers and a rooftop SkyPark that spans them above the bayfront. The complex was completed in 2010 and was designed by Moshe Safdie.
Three towers and a roof garden above Marina Bay
The most striking element is the SkyPark, a broad platform that sits across the tops of the towers. It includes gardens, dining spaces, an infinity pool and a public promenade.
At street level, a connecting atrium links the towers with the retail areas and the wider pedestrian network. The building also forms part of the Marina Bay waterfront district, with views towards the Singapore Strait.
Moshe Safdie’s resort on the waterfront
Marina Bay Sands was shaped as an integrated resort rather than a single hotel. Its programme includes convention facilities, a casino, theatres, shopping and the ArtScience Museum, all within one complex.
Safdie Architects describes the project as a development completed in 2010 with a SkyPark set on the 57th storey. The towers rise in a cascading profile, while the rooftop garden creates a continuous horizontal line across the top.
Marina Bay Sands and the city skyline
The complex occupies a prominent position along Marina Bay and presents a clear contrast between vertical towers and a horizontal roofscape. That contrast gives the place its strongest visual identity from across the water.
Its visible mix of hotel, leisure and civic uses places it among the best-known examples of large-scale urban resort architecture in Singapur. The ArtScience Museum and the rooftop deck add separate architectural elements to the overall composition.
