Chetwoods acted as architectural design guardian for Genting on this mixed-use development. The scheme comprised a casino, cinema, conference centre, hotel and spa, designer retail outlet and F&B units with a 480 space multi-level car park. Our main role included monitoring compliance of the contractors’ proposals and quality of works on site. Additionally, we were appointed in a lead designer role on various elements within the main building, a design intent package for the hotel and reconfiguration of two car parks.
