아르데코 스타일을 현대적으로 재해석한 마카오 스튜디오 시티 리조트 2단계 디자인(Studio City Phase 2 construction reaches full height, Macau, China)
2개의 타워형 호텔을 포함해 900개의 객실과 스위트룸, 21,000㎡의 쇼핑 및 식당, 2,300㎡의 게임 공간으로 구성된 대규모 리조트 단지 개발
마카오 스튜디오시티 리조트는 중국 본토와 인접한 코타이지구 로터스 브리지에 인접한 마리조트이다. 멜코 리조트 & 엔터테인먼트가 새롭게 확장 개발하는 스튜디오 시티 2단계는 세계적인 건축그룹 자하하디드 아키텍츠에서 설계했다.
증축 공간은 아시아 최대의 실내외 워터파크를 비롯해 6개 스크린 시네플렉스, 광범위한 회의 및 전시 공간을 포함한 새로운 레저, 엔터테인먼트 및 환대시설을 갖추고 있다. 250,000㎡ 규모의 2개의 호텔 타워로 구성된 스튜디오 시티 2단계 디자인은 900개의 객실과 스위트룸, 21,000㎡의 쇼핑 및 식당, 2,300㎡의 게임 공간을 포함한다.
멜코 리조트 & 엔터테인먼트의 로렌스 호 회장은 “스튜디오 시티 2단계의 지속적인 개발을 축하하고 국제적인 마카오 게임 제안을 강화하고자 한다”고 밝혔다.
전체적인 디자인은 아르데코 시대의 디테일을 현대적으로 재해석해 대담한 기하학적 패턴을 구현해내고 있다. 타워의 수직성을 표현하는 외관의 지느러미 형태의 디테일은 3가지 다른 단열 글레이징 유닛과 차광 핀의 그라데이션으로 태양열의 편안한 유입과 눈부심을 차단해 준다. 고효율 서비스 및 시스템과 함께 고성능 건물 외피는 에너지 수요를 획기적으로 감소시켜 준다. 단지 개발이 진행되면서 모든 목재 기반 제품은 FSC(Forestry Stewardship Council)에서 인증한 자재를 활용한다. 스튜디오 시티 2단계 개발은 마카오 코타이 생태구역의 보호습지에서 가급적 멀리 떨어져 개발되었으며, 타워의 타원형 매스는 리조트 내부와 주변 자연환기를 촉진하도록 설계되었다. 단지 곳곳에는 생태학적으로 경관과 서식지에 적합한 식재로 조경한다.
지난 2015년 처음 개장한 스튜디오 시티는 독특한 엔터테인먼트의 공간으로 마카오의 랜드마크가 되고 있다. 이번 증축 단계를 거쳐 세계적인 수준의 엔터테인먼트 기능을 향상시킬 수 있게 되었다. 2022년 12월에 마무리될 스튜디오 시티 2단계 개발은 브리엄 어워즈 2021에서 'Regional Award Asia'의 수상자로 선정되기도 했다. ANN

Celebrating the construction of Studio City Phase 2 reaching its full height, Lawrence Ho, Chairman and CEO of Melco Resorts & Entertainment hosted the topping out ceremony in Macau. Melco Resorts & Entertainment is a leading global developer, owner and operator of integrated resort facilities.
Located in the Cotai district of Macau adjacent to the Lotus Bridge crossing with mainland China, the Hollywood-inspired Studio City resort has welcomed guests and visitors to the city since 2015.
Appointed in 2017 to expand the resort, Zaha Hadid Architects designed Studio City Phase 2 with new leisure, entertainment and hospitality facilities including one of Asia’s largest indoor & outdoor water parks and a six-screen Cineplex together with extensive conference and exhibition spaces.
Comprising two hotel towers with 900 rooms and suites, 21,000 sq. m of shopping and dining, as well as 2,300 sq. m of gaming space, the 250,000 sq. m Studio City Phase 2 design is informed by the existing resort’s cinematic references with a contemporary reinterpretation of the rich detailing, bold geometries and craftsmanship of the Art Deco period.
Mr. Lawrence Ho, Chairman and CEO of Melco Resorts & Entertainment, said, “Melco has a strong track record of contributing to Macau’s ongoing development as a world center of leisure tourism. Studio City Phase 2 reaffirms our ongoing commitment to the city and contributes to reinforcing Macau’s non-gaming proposition in Asia and internationally. We are grateful for the support of the Central and Macau governments during the project construction.”
Mr. David Sisk, Chief Operating Officer of Macau Resorts, Melco, said, “Since opening in 2015, Studio City has become a destination landmark in Macau with its unique entertainment theme and experience. The extension project will complement our existing offering of ‘next-generation’ world-class entertainment and further enhance the distinctive Studio City experience.”
Viviana Muscettola, Director at Zaha Hadid Architects, said, “Zaha Hadid Architects and Melco share the same vision and determination to push boundaries. Studio City Phase 2 continues our ten year collaboration with Melco that includes the Morpheus Hotel at the City of Dreams in Macau. Extending the thriving Studio City resort, the highly adaptable spaces of Phase 2 have been developed by a truly global team of professionals.”
Composed of three different gradations of glass with external fins that delineate the verticality of the towers, the insulated glazing units and shading fins will reduce solar heat gain and glare while maintaining thermal comfort for hotel guests. The high-performance building envelope together with highly efficient services and systems will reduce energy demand. All timber and timber-based products specified within the design have been harvested, traded and sourced in accordance with Forestry Stewardship Council certification.
Environmental site assessments determined the composition of Studio City Phase 2’s development away from the 15-hectare protected wetland of the adjacent Macau Cotai Ecological Zone. The orientation and configuration of the elliptical towers have been calculated to facilitate natural ventilation within and around the resort. The project’s ecologist developed preservation measures for the site’s existing flora together with compensatory planting of species compatible with the landscape and habitat.
Scheduled to complete in December 2022, the Studio City Phase 2 development was named winner of the ‘Regional Award Asia’ at the BREEAM Awards 2021.
