Obayashi Has Done Equally Well
10. Obayashi Corporation has achieved equally impressive results, winning for
itself an award each for Hotel Rendezvous and the Bridge at Marina Bay, and a
Certificate of Merit for Commerce Point, a 19-storey Design-and-Build office
building.
11. Hotel Rendezvous is a four-star hotel located at the junction of Bras
Basah Road and Prinsep Street, boasting 300 guestrooms and an internal open
landscaped courtyard. The façade >
of the hotel was designed and detailed to respect and harmonise with the
architectural features of the surrounding conservation shophouses. Advanced
strengthening technique using hybrid woven fabric was introduced for the
restoration of the structural components of the shophouses. Meticulous and
painstaking efforts were made to record and reproduce the decorative façade
details for the historical shophouses as well as to restore the damaged features
and mouldings.
12. Bridge at Marina Bay, also known as the Esplanade Bridge, is a 280m
long and 44.4m wide dual carriageway with pedestrian footpath on both sides that
span across the Marina Bay. The 3-dimensional curved design features required
for the bridge spanning between the piers demand cast-in-situ construction
method to be adopted, which made the formwork design very difficult and
challenging. Reinforcement design and detailing were extremely complex as every
rebar and stirrup in the 3-dimensional curved span is of different length, curvature,
sizes and placement angles.
