The Park Hyatt Suzhou won Gold in the Public Building category, One Shenzhen Bay and Qiantan Center won Silver, and HONY Center won the Merit award in the 7th annual celebration.
Earning the Public Building Gold Award, Park Hyatt Suzhou takes inspiration from the Suzhou Gardens with a stepped massing and private terraces to optimize views of the lake. The hotel design prioritizes hotel amenities and premium interior spaces that connect the guests to the destination’s natural surroundings.
Two KPF projects in Shenzhen received Silver Awards. One Shenzhen Bay is a mixed-use development comprised of six high-end residential towers, one office tower, and a 338-meter central tower. Integrated into the fabric of the Houhai district, One Shenzen Bay provides a modern living environment between the rolling coastline and the city. To the east, Qiantan Center includes a 270-meter office tower connected by a retail podium to the Shangri-La hotel. The project’s façade is comprised of horizontal fins that imitate wood grain and the motion of waves.
Also in Shenzhen, Hony Center received a Merit Award. The project spans two blocks in the Qinghai Harbor Financial District and is comprised of two towers. The first serves as the new headquarters for Hony while the second is a residential tower. Both integrate glass and stone to create a lively and varied material pallet.
Last year, six KPF projects received awards, making KPF the most represented international firm in the program. Read more here.
