Sonargon Hotel, Dhaka, Bangladesh
The project involves a significant expansion to provide 330 bedrooms, ballroom, and parking for 500 vehicles.
Due to a height restriction of 145ft, our proposal was to create a new horizontal element to counter-balance the existing tower. The new bedroom block performs a dramatic cantilever to define the new entrance to the hotel. Additional facilities, including the ballroom/exhibition hall and health club are incorporated in a new low wing. In scale, form, composition and colour, the buildings create a harmonious complex giving a contemporary and striking expression.
