Natural bamboo ceiling feature with directional spot lights in a dark color open ceiling is another dramatic element to the main theme and helps drawing attention to the centre. VIP rooms were visually connected through a wood frame sliding door inserted with an engraved sandblasted glass panel of traditional fabric weaving pattern.
