Modern architectural masterpieces

“WOW” is all you can say as you pull up to the Shearaton Huzhou Hot Spring Resort.  MAD Architects designed this horseshoe shaped structure containing 321 spacious rooms, suites, and villas all containing private balconies so that guests can take advantage of the amazing view.

Mere mortals can only admire One Central Park, a new residential complex designed by French architects, Ateliers Jean Nouvel.  The multi-leveled section incorporates the 28 high-end apartments which, like the rest of the building, are surrounded by gorgeous living walls.  The juxtaposition between the modern architectural design and the lush greenery is striking and complementary all at once!

It makes perfect sense that Hong Kong’s Polytechnic School of Design be housed inside such an impressively modern structure titled, “Jockey Club Innovation Tower” and designed by Zaha Hadid.  The predominately white interior allows sunlight to highlight the start white stairways that meander throughout the building.  The 15 story building is comprised of concrete, steel and glass; and the shape of facade is like that of a ship’s prow.  Must be nice to go to school in such an imaginative building.
