GOETTSCH PARTNERS DESIGNS
PARK HYATT GUANGZHOU MIXED-USE TOWER 2007
New high-rise integrates diverse program into single structure over transit
station
CHICAGO – (August 17, 2007) – Goettsch Partners has been commissioned
by Guangzhou R&F Properties Co. to design a new 1,000-foot-tall mixed-use
building in Guangzhou, China. The project totals 1,878,000 square feet
and features a 180-key Park Hyatt hotel, 430,000 square feet of offices,
65,000 square feet of retail, 24 condominiums, 174 serviced apartments,
and underground parking for 700 cars.
The 66-story building is located in the Zhujiang development, planned
as Guangzhou’s new city center, near the Pearl River. The tight,
two-acre site sits over a transit station at the intersection of two subway
lines, with neighboring buildings that include the Grand Hyatt Guangzhou,
also designed by Goettsch Partners; the city’s new opera house; the
new Guangdong Museum; and what will be China’s tallest twin towers
at more than 1,300 feet.
The Park Hyatt tower is designed as a single volume that pinches in at
the corners in relation to the changing programmatic functions stacked
within. The field of staggered vertical strips on the façade stretches
and compresses like tendons in response to the varying floor-to-floor
heights required for each distinct function. The approximately $150 million
project is currently in the schematic design phase and is expected to
be completed in 2010.
