Being in the tropics, the pool deck was envisioned to be an urban retreat for city dwellers and also shoppers from the adjacent shopping district of Bukit Bintang.
Inspired by the imagery of David Hockney’s artworks, the pool deck is comprised of four main components: a bar, a dining area, a terraced deck and a mezzanine event space. Taking cue from the vibrancy of colors in Hockney’s works and also his usage of patterns, lines and planes, the pool deck is designed to be individualistic and alluring at every corner.
