KOWLOON HOTEL, Hong Kong
1985
Kowloon Hotel consists of 18 storeys of hotel guest rooms with a podium housing hotel public areas, banking office and shopping areas.
The building is designed with a saw-tooth elevation which on one hand provides a more efficient use of the limited space within the guest room and on the other hand breaks up the monotony of the extended frontage of the site.
On ground floor, the street is brought into the otherwise small lobby by extensive use of glass, reflective stainless steel, spark-ling lights and continuation of external granite cladding.
