Located in Singapore's Central Business District and adjacent to Hong Lim Park, Parkroyal on Pickering exemplifies the use of lush greenery to integrate the form and function of a business with a SOHO residential development. The tropical landscaping that reaches multiple levels of the building has an area that adds up to twice the building’s footprint. This extensive greenery strategically veils the hard edges of the building as it extends upwards and inwards into the interior public spaces of the hotel. Environmental sustainability is a central consideration of the building as well; Parkroyal on Pickering is a Recipient of Singapore’s Green Mark Platinum Certification as the first hotel in Singapore to utilise solar-powered auto-irrigation system that harvests rain and recycled water for plant maintenance.
