Singapore-based WOHA Architects have built the Park Royal Hotel-a building almost completely overrun with gardens, water features and green pathways.

The urban oasis features cascades that flow down from swimming pools and garden terraces on the podium roof and into clefts and projections from which trees and vines can thrive.
