A government-appointed panel has approved resource consent to construct a new luxury hotel in Queenstown, New Zealand. Designed by Woods Bagot, the hotel is an initiative of The Queenstown Hotel Limited Partnership in response to a demand for luxury accommodation within the renowned international tourism destination. The architectural design comprises five interconnected pavilions, each oriented to capture framed views of the landscape, including panoramic views over Lake Whakatipu and The Remarkables mountain range. Broken into smaller, human-scaled elements, the purpose-built pavilions are carefully placed to follow the natural lay of the land, maximising the planning envelope while remaining sympathetic to its surrounds. “Designed to harmonise with the historic scale of Queenstown’s urban fabric, the project is conceived as a ‘township of rooms,’ with each room oriented to capture framed views of the surrounding landscape," says Woods Bagot Director Domenic Alvaro.

Lab buildings are perfect for sustainability experiments. They often have massive process energy loads and motivated researchers. As we look to the post-pandemic era, Woods Bagot's Global Sustainability Leader Russell Fortmeyer asks, how can we make labs more flexible and less like typical offices? Referencing the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) in Adelaide highlights smart planning. We do not always have the opportunity with a site or project brief to include outdoor space, but we can deliver those benefits in other ways, such as with an atrium. Atrium spaces on the east and west of the LEED Gold-certified SAHMRI play different roles - wayfinding, circulation, meeting space, environmental mediator, and, perhaps most important, social connector to inspire collaborative research.

The conventional approach to hotels is giving way to more inspired, cross-sector design driven by user experience. The value of feeling safe and well has never been higher, and designers have been galvanized by the call to create comforting spaces that ensure peace of mind as well as body. Read Woods Bagot principal Bronwyn McColl's insight on "Revolution Health", considering the productive potential of cross-pollinating sectors, making hotels spaces people can trust completely with their health.

We are pleased to be a part of the design team for Brooklyn Tower which was the recipient of multiple 2024 Awards of Excellence at the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) International Conference. Taking place in London and Paris this year, the annual awards program recognizes extraordinary contributions to the advancement of tall buildings and the urban environment across more than 20 categories and subcategories. Woods Bagot led by New York Principal Krista Ninivaggi provided Interior Design for the SHoP Architects designed project. "We very much wanted the interiors to be in dialogue with the ethos of the exterior of the building, so that it felt like a complete work and continued the vision of the exterior. The goal was for the inside and outside to be unified as a total work" shared Ninivaggi. Congratulations to the design team and all of the winners at this years Annual Awards!
