  • Once known as Laguna National Golf and Country Club, Dusit Thani Laguna, an integrated golf resort and a five-star hotel, is inspired by the gentle undulation of the golf course. Its sleek curvilinear form sweeps up from the ground to create a shelter for the hotel before surging on to cover the existing clubhouse, splaying out in the middle to provide an entrance canopy on one side and the frame for the all-day dining room and ballroom on the other. The marriage of the two functions with a discrepancy in height is disguised by a single and unified roof, shaped to complement the surging landscape of the resort. The roof does not just enclose the structure but becomes the body too and displays a seamless surface with no visible joints, blending smoothly with the scenery.

    Overall, the project has faced some roadblocks during construction due to its unusual form, but as it now stands beautiful on the golf course as one of the most remarkable buildings in Singapore is well worth the effort.
