MBS Paiza Sky Residence

(Singapore)

Client: Las Vegas Sands

Completed in: 2024

Scope of Work: Revamp of Executive Lounge

This project was conceived and delivered during Su Seam’s tenure at LTW Designworks.

We reimagined Marina Bay Sands’ Paiza Sky Residence to be a modern incarnation of the Summer Palace, overlooking the kingdom to the west and the lavish private gardens to the east. Struck by the history and significance of the palace, we adopted a neutral and soft palette to evoke a sense of calmness akin to “reaching for the heavens,” accompanied by rich earth tones, gold and royal blue accents for a regal touch. Through a symphony of east-meets-west textures, Asian art and nature-inspired architectural elements, the Paiza Sky Residence is the epitome of a palatial enclave, reminiscent of an abode for royalty, for guests to indulge their senses and elevate their spirits.

(Inspiration)

Subtle. Woven. Luxury.

The Royal

Plaque

The royal plaque represents a symbol once bestowed upon the emperor’s chosen—granting safe passage, unrestricted access and the full privileges of the kingdom nearly a thousand years ago.

Architectural

Influence

In exploring the Tang Dynasty, we selected Daming Palace as the architectural inspiration for its clarity, order, and imperial scale. More meaningfully, the palace was built by Emperor Taizong as an act of filial devotion to his father, creating a sanctuary that overlooked the kingdom to the West and a grand garden to the East.

The Age of

Chinese Culture

The Tang era itself marked a Golden Age of Chinese culture—a flourishing period celebrated for its poetry, calligraphy and artistic pursuits, and home to many of China’s greatest scholars.
