Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Regala Skycity Hotel is a new hotel situated in Skycity of Hong Kong International Airport. The building is located on triangular site and designed with a tripartite division. The extermal facade is completed with unitized curtain wall system that minimize on-site construction work and time. It has 1,208 guest rooms which makes it one of the biggest hotel in Hong Kong.
- Inspiration
- The design of the building was inspired by an optical crystal prism. The natural shape of the building not only maximizes the usage of land, but the use of reflective glass on the curtain wall makes it blended into its environment yet refracts light like a crystal prism in interesting ways.
- Research
- During the early stage, the designer needed to consider room layouts, accessibility, sustainability, building codes, brand identity, and technology used in the hotel. Features such as bathrooms, storage, and seating areas must be incorporated to maximize space and ensure guest comfort. Accessibility features like ramps and elevators was properly designed and incorporated. Compliance with local building codes is important for safety and legality. Brand identity was well thought out and reflected in the design, and technology was integrated to enhance the guest experience.
- Challenge
- The Regala Skycity Hotel's design challenge is to create an innovative yet visually stunning building that maximizes the triangular site's potential. The design should incorporate natural light, green spaces and stunning views of the new Hong Kong Airport Runway.
- Realization and Technology
- The architectural design of the Regala Skycity Hotel focuses on creating a building that is both functional and visually striking. The building was designed in a tripartite division. The base of the building features a dynamic and fluid design that reflects the movement and energy of the flight paths from Hong Kong to the rest of the world. The design incorporates infinite vertical lines in an array of greys, creating an interesting and visually engaging exterior that mimics the Hong Kong infamous skyline. The shaft of the building is made with unitized curtain wall system. The external facade offers a sleek and modern appearance, while also being highly energy-efficient and sustainable.
- Operation and Interaction
- Hotel guests would either check-in via our smart check-in system or at our front-desk that was designed to have an open view looking through the restaurant behind and into the greenery outside the hotel. After check-in, they could visit the swimming pool right in the center of the hotel. Then watch the sunset on the hotel roof deck before having a nice dinner at one of the award-winning restaurants overlooking the new runway of Hong Kong International Airport.
