The project is an events-driven hospitality complex anchored by a singular facade strategy: a repeated sequence of parabolic arches that read as tensile, sculptural bays. These inverted-curved forms produce deep recessed openings and intersecting light pockets, creating a strong horizontal rhythm while offering controlled privacy, daylight modulation and dramatic night illumination. The vaulted geometry is resolved as a series of calibrated radii and spring lines, allowing a consistent modular bay width while generating varied interior volumes and exterior shadow plays.
Programmatically the project centers on a double-height banquet hall with a 10 m clear ceiling designed for large gatherings and flexible staging. The banquet is supported by a fully equipped commercial kitchen and a dedicated bar positioned for direct service and efficient back-of-house circulation. Seminar rooms and dance halls are arranged on mezzanine and adjacent floors to provide discrete rehearsal and breakout capacity without interrupting main events. Host accommodation and office suites are located to the rear and upper levels to maintain operational separation yet remain accessible. An intricate landscape of mounded planters and arched retaining walls mirrors the façade geometry and provides layered, arrival and spill-out spaces. A retail block along the left frontage activates the street edge and provides ancillary commercial use.
Materials and detailing prioritize robust cladding, warm lighting and open sight-lines to emphasize volume, proportion and programmatic clarity while the façade geometry becomes the project’s primary identity.
