the tree table – cell, a homy place for a glass of wine
the rain is singing
to wake up in front of the ocean
all eyes on you when you are pooring water on them
looks hard to ascend but it worths the effort
not everything is what it looks to be
perfection is never enough for what is different is more interesting
minimal is the view’s way to feel it better
and God created Prague…
Lancaster Gate always in my mind
world is one but there are many worlds inside it
extreme conditions make an iron box seem the best protection
walking on cliffs, passing through fogs
how should underwater love be? same shapes similar colors unknown sounds
moments you have captured bring back so many memories
the different ways of cold architecture, “sculptures” of glass and ice
designing underwater life
waiting for the Opera to start
the green roof’s of Vienna City
the same building, the different owners
promising a fairytale before sleep
checking the mountains from the telescope during day, looking at the stars at night

where it all began…

Luxury hotel MARINA BAY SANDS has been designed to be the leading business, leisure and entertainment destination in Asia with it’s unique and luxurious design. The investment reaches the $5 billion. It’s boat-shaped ‘SkyPark’ perched atop the three 55 storey towers and 2,560-rooms. This three towers are connected with a one hectare roof sky park offering 360-degree views of Singapore’s skyline and featuring a 150-meters infinity pool, landscaped gardens with over 900 different types of trees and plants, dining facilities (exclusive restaurants including The Sky on 57 which is run by Singapore’s celebrity chef Justin) Quek, an entertainment venue.
The Sky-Park’s infinity-edged swimming pool , with a 475-foot vanishing edge, is perched 200 meters above the ground, and the observation deck offers visitors the unique opportunity to feast their eyes on the unforgettable panoramic view.
The world-renowned architect, Moshe Safdie, who is responsible for the design of the Marina Bay Sands, said, “When we positioned the SkyPark on top of the separate towers, it then connected them as a cohesive unit, creating what is now something of a symbolic gateway to Singapore. It also became a spectacular opportunity to position many of the amenities of the Hotel, including gardens, restaurants and a one-of-a-kind swimming pool. It was important we capitalised on the swimming pool’s unique location 200 meters in the air, so we created a dramatic 150-metre long infinity edge facing the city. The infinity edge combined with the pool’s iridescent tile finish blends the pool water surface seamlessly with the Singapore sky.”
Marina Bay Sands stretches longer than the height of the Eiffel Tower or as long as four and a half Airbus A380 jumbo jets. The gravity-defying cantilever is one of the largest of its kind in the world.
In spite of the complexity and magnitude of the project, the Sands SkyPark pool was built over a mere span of 7 months. The speed of construction can be attributed in a large part to the pre-fabrication of the stainless steel.
