Peranakan references inform the dining hall, alongside meeting-room themes including Forest, Nest and Warehouse. The venue presents different spatial experiences within one destination.

The wider design lesson is to preserve the purpose of a brand while allowing its spaces to respond to where they are. A recognisable experience can still carry a distinctive local identity.
