his sleek space sits more than 600 feet above the streets of Singapore, at the edge of a rooftop platform that interconnects the Marina Bay Sands’ three towers. Not surprisingly, designer Joshua Zinder worked to take maximum advantage of the restaurant’s lofty perch by endowing it with an open oor plan that gives patrons ample access to the restaurant’s oor-to-ceiling windows and
the spectacular views they offer. But Zinder also had some pretty down-to-earth objectives for the sky-high space—he strove for a layout that maximized its operating ef ciencies. “Great restaurant design goes beyond what the diner sees,” explains Zinder, whose Princeton, N.J.-based architecture and design rm has created about a dozen restaurants

for Las Vegas Sands Corp. in recent years. “Truly elegant spaces also help owners capture incremental revenue by increasing capacity, providing easy-to-navigate spaces for cooks and wait staff, and delivering other operational ef ciencies.” In applying those principles to Sky on 57, Zinder said he faced two major challenges: Designing a home for the kitchen and other back-of-the-house functions that did not block diners’ views of the Singapore skyline and the Paci c Ocean, and creating a series of intimate dining experiences in a relatively large space. (The restaurant’s interior encompasses about 8,000 sq. ft. of space that seats about 200; it also has a 5,000-sq.-ft. outdoor terrace that can accommodate about 100.) To address the rst concern, Zinder anchored the kitchen in a U-shaped area that’s nestled against the one restaurant wall that overlooks the rest of the Sands’ rooftop platform. (The other three sides of the restaurant look directly out over the edge of the platform.) In addition to its practical functions, Zinder says he sought to turn the back-of-house space into a “sculptural anchor” for the restaurant by adorning its sides with horizontal wooden ns and windows containing backlit supergraphics of hydrangea petals. To divvy the restaurant’s interior dining room into more discrete spaces, Zinder utilized glass partitions, oating ceiling panels and a series of chandeliers. “Those features allowed us to create a number of different ‘feels’ within the space, all without diluting guests’ access to the scenery outside,” he says.
