New York firm SHoP Architects, in collaboration with Brisbane-based BVN, will also seek to leverage the city's temperate climate to reduce carbon emissions by 50 percent over a decade. "[We created] an ecosystem that is close to nature while still being very comfortable," says SHoP Architects principal Coren Sharples. "That is reflected in the use of natural materials like cross-laminated timber and greenery incorporated into the surroundings." A medley of outdoor and indoor space, including planted terraces and elevated parks, will provide natural ventilation, while an electricity-generating façade system will be equipped with self-shade capabilities to reduce direct solar gain.http://www.hospitalitydesign.com
