Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, designed by WOW Architects, is Singapore's first biophilic resort achieving Super Low Energy certification. The design incorporates seed-pod-shaped treehouses into the existing forest, emphasizing a regenerative approach. The site minimizes vegetation disturbance and maintains trees of conservation value while enhancing biodiversity with native species. Rooftop forests and living facades expand the green areas. Regenerative hospitality principles guide the construction, focusing on restoring ecosystems and enriching local communities, transforming properties into living ecosystems that promote environmental healing and community growth.
The resort's stunning seed-pod-shaped treehouses emerge from the canopy like natural formations, establishing a new vocabulary for eco-luxury hospitality.
WOW Architects carefully positioned the resort within the footprint of former back-of-house facilities, minimizing disturbance to surrounding vegetation while maximizing the site's natural assets.
Rooftop forests and living facades expand the green surface area beyond the original site conditions.
Unlike traditional eco-friendly practices that focus on reducing harm, regenerative hospitality actively restores and enhances the destinations where hotels and resorts operate.
