Island Shangri-La Hotel

The highlight of this hotel centres on the circulation to the hotel guest rooms which loops around an atrium space that extends the full height of the hotel floors. This atrium is created from the space vacated by the lifts serving the office floors below.The tall space is decorated with a specially commissioned mural extending its full height and a pair of observation lifts rise through the volume on the opposite side. Given the programme of locating a hotel on top of an office, the structural system of cross wall and slab is transferred to column and beam for the offices below, which is further transferred to increased column spacing at podium floors to facilitate the planning of hotel public areas.
