Signature projects · Park Hotel Clarke Quay

A hotel rooftop, laid out like a green chessboard.

High above Clarke Quay, three separate rooftop zones needed to read as one striking green landmark. We wrapped the main roof terrace, the circular pool-bar roof and the gym cube in premium Namgrass synthetic turf, set in a light-and-dark checkerboard that looks sharp from the guest rooms above and the street below.

The result

Three roofs, one green signature.

A crisp checkerboard of premium Namgrass, engineered to drain fast and hold its colour under full sun, framed by the Clarke Quay skyline.

The brief

Turn bare service roofs into a view worth having.

Guest rooms and the pool deck look straight down onto these roofs. Left as bare concrete and plant rooms, they were an eyesore, hot, grey and lifeless in a hotel that sells a green, resort feel.

The answer was synthetic turf, laid across three very different shapes, a long rectangular terrace, a perfect circle over the pool bar, and a raised gym cube, tied together by a single checkerboard pattern so the whole roofscape reads as one considered design.

  • Three zones, one language, a light-and-dark green checkerboard across every roof.
  • Laid over VersiCell drainage cells, so downpours clear fast and the waterproofing is protected.
  • UV-stable premium Namgrass, holds its colour under relentless rooftop sun.
  • No irrigation, no mowing, a green roof with none of the upkeep of living turf.
Across the roofs

One pattern, three rooftops.

From the long terrace beside the glass curtain wall to the circular pool-bar roof, the checkerboard carries across every surface.

Why synthetic turf on a roof

Built for a hotel roof that people look at every day.

Design-led finish

The checkerboard turns three awkward service roofs into a single, intentional green statement, seen from guest rooms and the street.

Drains & protects

Laid over drainage cells, the system clears heavy rain in seconds and shields the roof’s waterproofing membrane underneath.

Zero upkeep

No watering, mowing or fertiliser on a hard-to-access roof, just a durable green surface that stays sharp year after year.
