Topwin Center & InterContinental in Beijing | HOK



Designed by HOK, Situated in the Sanlitun district, a trendy cultural and creative hub of Beijing, the InterContinental Sanlitun distinguishes itself as a landmark building in the district. As a refreshing contrast to the contemporary buildings in the area, the hotel?s facade features a hexagon-patterned steel structure integrated with LEED lights to give the tower an interesting texture by day and a compelling light show by night. The project includes a 305-key InterContinental Hotel, 48 luxury apartments, and a 40,000-sq.-m. boutique retail mall.A narrow site challenged the design team?s creativity. The resulting form features a dramatic exterior while offering uninterrupted panoramic views for the hotel guests inside. To achieve this, the designers envisioned a curved silhouette at the two ends of the building for bigger suites while using a linear silhouette in the center where the typical guestrooms are located.
With the building?s linear massing, most of the hotel?s guestrooms face either stunning skyline views of the Forbidden City and Beijing?s energetic financial district to the west or its vibrant local cultural district in the east. Guestrooms on both north and south ends were given a triangular floor arrangement to enjoy 270-degree views. The hotel restaurant?s patio on the lower floor allows diners to experience the hustle and bustle of the trendy Beijing city.Entrances to the retail, hotel and residential component...
