The Fullerton Hotel / One Fullerton combination encompasses boldness and sensitivity both in its adaptive reuse and contemporary approach. Fullerton Hotel is an excellent example of how built heritage can be successfully adapted for modern use, resulting in a high quality development with memorable spatial qualities. One Fullerton sports a dynamic, modern look but maintains a low building profile, complementing the neo-classical Fullerton Hotel. It weaves in a ‘city room’ which maintains visual porosity to Marina Bay. Although the two buildings appear as independent structures, the Jury appreciated how they are seamlessly connected to each other and the waterfront. This sensitivity to context and urban design is further expressed through the strategic positioning of a view corridor, allowing glimpses of the bay when travelling along Fullerton Road. Together with the Merlion and city skyline, the Fullerton Hotel / One Fullerton forms a distinctive, signature view of Singapore which is reflective of the city’s growth across the ages.
"The approach adopted for both the Fullerton Hotel and One Fullerton was to ‘design with the times, for the times.’ In other words, the intent was to reflect, in architectural form and language, the technology and materials of the appropriate era." Tay Lee Soon
