Atkin's Architecture Group recently won the first prize award for an international design competition with this bombastic entry. Set in a spectacular water filled quarry in Songjiang, China, the 400 bed resort hotel will be uniquely constructed within the natural elements of the quarry. The underwater public areas and guest rooms will add to the awe of the hotel and the resort will also boast cafes, restaurants and sporting facilities.
The lowest level runs with the aquatic theme by housing a luxurious swimming pool and an extreme sports center for activities such as rock climbing and bungee jumping which will be cantilevered over the quarry and accessed by special lifts from the water. With a stunning visual presentation as shown here, it's no wonder this project took home the first prize.
