Abstract

Accessibility for wheelchair users is a crucial aspect of inclusive hospitality facility design, especially in countries with an aging population such as Singapore. With 13.3% of the population aged over 50 in 2024 and a projected 28.6% by 2030, the need for accessible spaces is becoming increasingly urgent. This study employed a content analysis method with a descriptive approach, in which the architectural floor plan of the Pan Pacific Orchard Hotel was redrawn and overlaid against the accessibility standards set by the Building and Construction Authority. The evaluation focused on five key elements: safety, visual focal points, corridors, cores, and user well-being. The findings indicate that the hotel not only meets technical accessibility requirements but also successfully integrates aesthetic elements with safety functions. Reflectively, this study highlights how the application of universal design can contribute to the creation of inclusive, meaningful, and adaptive spatial experiences for users with limited mobility. As such, the hotel serves as a model of design that promotes sustainability and competitiveness in the global hospitality sector.

Abstract

An environmentally friendly multi-storey residential design approach has been revealed by various studies since 2009. However, many multi-floor residential designs need to strike a balance between economic needs and the sustainability of the building. Skyville @ Dawson was designed by WOHA consultant with the principles of sustainability (sustainable design based on architectural science), community and diversity in mind. Therefore, Skyville @ Dawson has a flexible apartment design with columns positioned on the building perimeters, and has three horizontal sky gardens that facilitate cross ventilation. The Skyville @ Dawson facade was designed with unique windows (monsoon windows), which facilitate cross ventilation but reduce the impact of wind on the workbench. It can be concluded that ventilation can reduce occupants' dependence on air conditioning and ultimately become energy efficient. WOHA offers an architectural science approach in Skyville @ Dawson to a sustainable design concept with a balanced consideration of social aspects.
