Black & White delivered a full MEP and AV / IT concept design for a 4-star hotel which will be operated by Hilton. The development is part of a large mixed-use project which also includes residences, offices, and retail and shopping centre. The floor area is approximately 624,000 sq ft, with 305 guestrooms.
The project utilises a whole building approach to sustainability, incorporating the techniques of sustainable rating systems such as LEED, BREEAM, and ESTIDAMA. An investigation into the optimal combination of passive strategies has reduced the proposed design peak coincidental cooling demand by 30 to 35% over the standard ‘typical’ design.
