With four distinct environments inspired by Singapore’s various landscapes, Pan Pacific Orchard brims with more than 12,000 square metres of foliage, transporting guests to the forest, the beach, the gardens, and into the clouds. 

Forest Terrace offers guests an immediate respite from the hustle and bustle of Orchard in a 3-dimensional forest with a myriad of tropical plant species around the edges of a stepping waterfall and landscaped pond. Beach Terrace is a tropical oasis with an organically-shaped emerald lagoon, a meandering sandy beachfront and giant sandcastle dunes between groves of palms, sea hibiscus and pandanus, all coastal species found at the seaside. Garden Terrace offers a curated garden setting with a foyer designed as a square gazebo with framed passageways and a bronze water sculpture in the centre. Cloud Terrace is an urban destination that houses the Claymore Ballroom, Scott’s Room and an outdoor event space up in the sky, set in between silver-hued plantings, reflective pools and a perforated mirror ceiling. 

The building's energy, water and waste building systems are integrated with each other: 360 photovoltaic panels on the roof generate clean energy that supplements the building’s energy usage; rainwater is harvested to irrigate the greenery; and a bio-digester system transforms food waste into liquid, which is used for self-cleaning.

Design of the terraces allows cross ventilation, self-shading and daylighting, reducing overall dependency on energy, and creating a unique urban resort ambience with natural light and fresh air, aided by low-energy dry mist fans in strategic areas that reduce the need for air-conditioning and artificial lighting.

Greenery and water bodies create environmental buffers and surfaces that cool the temperature and help to combat the urban heat island effect. The plants provide further valuable ecosystem services like regulating air quality and sequestering carbon dioxide.
