Atkins secures Chinese luxury hotel project
UK-based design and engineering group Atkins has been appointed to draw up plans for a five star hotel and residential complex with sea-side views and private beach in the Chinese city of Sanya.
Atkins' scope of work consists of concept design development, schematic design and landscaping.
The masterplan is centred on seashell-like curvaceous buildings and strategically placed landscaped platforms that terrace towards the sea, optimising beach views for the hotel guests and the private residences.
With a total gross floor area of 97,000sqm above ground, the complex will dominate the skyline from both inland and seaside.
The 38,000sqm luxury hotel has 300 rooms and supporting amenities includes a ballroom, a Chinese restaurant, a Western restaurant and spa facilities. Sanya is a popular tourist destination in China with the presence of many luxury hotelier brands.
