W MACAU Hotel Studio City by ZHA
Located in the Cotai district of Macau, the Hollywood-inspired Studio City resort has welcomed guests and visitors to the city since 2015. Appointed in 2017 to expand the resort, ZHA designed Studio City Phase Two with new leisure, entertainment and hospitality facilities including one of Asia’s largest indoor and outdoor water parks and extensive meeting spaces. One of two new hotels to open within Phase Two of the Studio City Resort, the W Macau incorporates 557 hotel rooms and suites over 40 floors together with cafés, restaurants, pool, spa, gym and recording studio for guests.
The project includes two hotel towers covering over 250,000 sqm, with 21,000 sqm of those dedicated to shopping and dining and 2,300 sqm of gaming space. The towers are composed of three different gradations of glass with external fins, which will reduce solar heat gain and glare while maintaining thermal comfort. The orientation and configuration of the towers have been organized to facilitate natural ventilation throughout the resort. The project was named winner of the ‘Regional Award Asia’ at the BREEAM Awards 2021.
