FBEYE International completes five year re-design of the InterContinental Singapore

HONG KONG - FBFEYE International is proud to announce the completion of their latest design project, The InterContinental Singapore, after an extensive five-year renovation scheme.
 

After the successful completion of the Executive Club Lounge, 67 Shophouse Guestrooms and Suites, as well as the specialty Cantonese restaurant “Man Fu Yuan”, leading design firm FBEYE was appointed to design the hotel lobby, lobby lounge, All Day Dining restaurant, and the 316 Tower Guestrooms and Suites.
 

Continuing the unique theme and to complement the character of the vibrant locale - Arab Street, Kampong Glam, Little India and Chinatown - the grand lobby has been redesigned with a focus on nature with design details representative of a by-gone era, and characteristic of the distinct Peranakan Culture.
 

In addition, the Concierge Lounge located at the entrance of the hotel lobby was created based on the living room of a traditional Peranakan home. The corridor walls are lined with a series of exquisite art pieces, each bordered by British-inspired columns which stem from inspirations of the colonial architecture of old Singapore.
 

Ash & Elm, the latest addition to the InterContinental Singapore’s collection of dining establishments, is a vibrant restaurant focused on European Dining. The dynamic space transforms throughout the day, with the skylight canopy running the length of the dining area providing a sense of movement, as glimmers of natural daylight provide an ever-changing colour palate to the space in the day.
 

FBEYE International integrated the use of natural materials in areas, using butcher-block worktops, a mixture of exotic marble, aged oak timbre and mosaic tiles in the flooring as well as the timber walls to introduce an organic feel to the space as well as imbibing an atmosphere of liveliness. In the evening, Pendant lights comprising of hand-cut polished crystals are switched on to help set the mood, making it cosier and inviting for guests.
 

Besides the hotel’s public spaces, FBEYE International also meticulously designed the hotel’s 316 guestrooms and suites. Inspired by ornate art, ceramics, and eye catching embroidery, the guestroom design exudes a residential feel that is tranquil without being over imposing.
 

The Deluxe Rooms, which make up the bulk of the guestrooms in the main tower, were specially designed with the pinnacle of luxury and elegance in mind. A harmonious blend of textures and colours, with silk-threaded wall coverings and panels against white walls, are adorned with gold trimmings on the ceiling.
 

Produced exclusively by FBEYE International, the headboards above the beds were created with exquisite padded silk coverings to represent a contemporary interpretation of Peranakan tile motifs.
 

Additionally the guestrooms represent fitted cabinets with black lacquered doors made of mahogany veneers and solids, replete with a champagne gold gilt finish, exuding the beauty of oriental charm.
 

Warren Foster-Brown, Managing Director of FBEYE International states “The InterContinental Singapore is an iconic hotel which reflects the Peranakan heritage and lifestyle of early Singapore, so we wanted to ensure the new designs reflected on its legacy and the culture surrounding the hotel.”
 

Ms. Tash Tobias, General Manager of InterContinental Singapore states “InterContinental Singapore has been on a journey towards redefining luxury at the heart of heritage Bugis with the launch of brand new guestrooms, public spaces and dining establishments. Through the holistic renovation project, FBEYE International has been instrumental in delivering charming designs that not only breathe new life into our landmark hotel, but also allowed us to progress in the intended direction towards luxury and heritage.”
