JW Marriott Shenzhen Bao’an

The project consists of one 26-story hotel tower, one 29-story apartment tower, a 4-story podium and a 3-level basement in the Bao’an business district, bounded on the east by a central green belt and on the south by the sea. The 26-story hotel tower is actually taller than the 29-story residential tower. Taking its form from the water, the water’s edge, and the fluidity of the sea, this hotel and apartment project in Shenzhen, China is composed of soft, sinuous curvilinear forms wrapping the edges of the site and enclosing a private garden in the middle of the block.
