KB Creative Advisors (KBCA) is the Executive Design Firm in charge of the creative design of Universal Studios Singapore. Representing Genting's Resorts World at Sentosa, KBCA provided master plan refinement, facility planning and design, facade, area development, environmental graphics, attraction, and interior design, as well as on-site art direction. Consisting of 19 shows, rides and attractions, 24 stores and restaurants, Universal Studios Singapore was designed and built in less than three years, opening to rave reviews from theme-park insiders and guests alike. The theme park is a part of Genting's US $4.4 billion "integrated resort" on Singapore's Sentosa Island.
BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD
Time and money can be saved when you work with knowledgeable and talented professionals with a "can-do" attitude. Our "cherry picked" team members brought their tremendous, world-wide, master's level experience and focused it on tackling impossible schedules, successfully creating what has been described as a new theme park form--potent, dynamic, and full of world class experiences.DESIGN LEADERSHIP
