★ Subtly incorporate traditional Malay wood carvings, rattan, bamboo elements and Peranakan geometric patterns to create locally distinctive spatial details;
★ Furniture features soft and rounded lines, balancing the relaxed atmosphere of a resort with the refined texture of a high-end hotel, suitable for family, business and leisure scenarios;
