Marina Bay Sands and its three-tower skyline
Published on 08/16/2026 at 14:25 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael MĂĽller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Marina Bay Sands is a landmark resort in Singapur defined by three hotel towers and a broad SkyPark above them. The complex was completed in 2010 and is closely associated with Moshe Safdie.
Three towers beneath one roofline
The resort’s most distinctive view comes from the trio of towers and the long platform that spans them. Safdie Architects describes the hotel as a 2010 project, and the SkyPark sits at the 57th floor across the tops of the towers.SkyPark sits
The overall effect is one of stacked verticals and a horizontal cap, with glass, steel and planted surfaces sharing the same skyline. That combination gives the complex a clear profile from the Marina Bay waterfront and from the surrounding central district.Marina Bay waterfront
From integrated resort to city landmark
Marina Bay Sands is more than a hotel. It combines accommodation with a convention centre, a casino, retail space and the ArtScience Museum, placing several uses under a single roofline.ArtScience Museum
The project belongs to the early twenty-first century phase of Marina Bay’s large-scale redevelopment. Its form reflects Moshe Safdie’s interest in linking separate volumes rather than hiding them inside one block, and the result remains easy to read from a distance.Moshe Safdie’s interest
Materials, scale and the urban edge
The resort stands at 10 Bayfront Avenue on the edge of Marina Bay. It rises over a broad podium and uses a mix of hotel, public and leisure spaces to create a dense waterfront ensemble.10 Bayfront Avenue
The towers are widely known for their height and the way they frame the open space between them. That gap, together with the planted SkyPark above, gives the complex its strongest architectural character.planted SkyPark above
