OUR STRATEGIC PARTNER - ATKINS AND ITS ARCHITECTURAL MASTERPIECE
08-11-2024
Pursuing the shared ambition of creating iconic world-class architectural works in Vietnam, Masterise Group has strategically partnered with Atkins (UK) – one of the world-leading design, engineering and project management consultancies.
With 80-year experience and had undertaken projects in over 150 countries, Atkins has been known for its luxury skyscrapers and refined buildings which harmonize the beauty of classic and modernity. Huarong Tower (China), Five Jumeirah Village (Dubai) - a luxury hospitality and residential project, Birmingham New Street Station (UK) are a few to name.
In every project, Atkins artfully combines the specific features of each location with the unique, modern architecture. For example, at InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland Hotel (China), Atkins has delicately incorporated the breathtaking natural beauty of the rocky cliffs, waterfalls and surrounding hills with the modern, elegant and futuristic building to create an architectural masterpiece; or Sama Tower (Dubai) with the shape of reversing triangle, allowing a greater number of apartments to have better views towards the sea and the city.
Masterise Group believes that, our companion Atkins will help creating unique edges for the upcoming Masterise Group projects. To us, each apartment is not only a place to live, but also a place to experience high-end living values.
Huarong Tower (ZhuHai, China), one of the breakthrough and creative architectural design works by Atkins, was crowned “Best International Mixed-use Architecture”, “Best Mixed-use Architecture Asia Pacific” at the International Property Awards 2018 in London and “Best Mixed-use Architecture China” award at the Asia Pacific Property Awards 2018.
Five Jumeirah Village (Dubai), designed by Atkins, comprises a mix of serviced apartment and a five-star hotel. The concept is based on a 30-degree rotation of each floor, thus creating a series of lush-green balcony sky gardens and 271 sky-high swimming pool.
It has been an iconic project and has received numerous awards including Best Apartment in Dubai at the Africa and Arabia International Property Awards 2017, Best International, New Hotel Construction & Design & Hotel Architecture at the 2016 International Property Awards and Leisure and Hospitality Project of the Year 2015 at the Middle East Architect Awards.
In 2008, Atkins was awarded to do detailed design and refurbishment of Birmingham New Street Station (UK), where up to 170,000 passengers travel through every day. After over 7 years, Atkins has overcome significant challenges by applying innovative solutions and successfully delivered one of the biggest station refurbishments in Europe.
InterContinetal Shanghai Wonderland Hotel, a luxurious five-star hotel, is built on the side of an abandoned waterfilled quarry in Songjiang (Shanghai, China). Atkins has delicately incorporated the breathtaking natural beauty of the rocky cliffs, waterfalls and surrounding hills with the modern, luxury and futuristic building to create an architectural masterpiece.
This project has won “Best Hotel Architecture Asia Pacific” and “Best International Hotel Architecture” at the International Hotel Awards 2013.
Atkins was awarded to carry out the entire design and site supervision services on the 50-storey residential Sama Tower (Dubai).
The tower brings the unique shape of the reversing triangle, allowing for a greater number of apartments to have better views: towards the sea on higher floors and towards the landscape and vibrancy of Sheikh Zayed Road on the lower floors.
