Led by Aedas Global Design Principal Keving Wang, the new leisure destination fronts the Dong’an Lake and backs Longquan Mountains.
The project is a contemporary resort that integrates a hotel offering, ecology, sports and retail. The hotel sits in the centre of the Dong’an Lake Park, next to civic amenities including Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre, multi-functional stadium and swimming pool. With a prominent yet spacious location, the project is immersed in an urban oasis that connects public transportation to the city.
The jagged architectural language connects the urban context through a linear spatial planning, shaping a multi-dimensional skyline with the cascading terraces. The public plaza and hotel entrances are connected to the park, enabling an efficient layout and ensuring the ease of accessibility to the hotel.
The hotel houses 351 south-facing rooms, optimising each room view with natural landscape and lake. The cascading terraces at the sides create a vibrant architectural form and rooftop gardens. The undulating façade mimics the ripples of Dong’an Lake, glittering like waves under different angles and sunlights.
Kevin says: “Dong’an Lake is becoming an international gateway incorporating wellness, ecology and corporate image. The hotel thus connects to the developments in the vicinity, creating a unique experience that integrates with the environment.”
