The City of Dreams (COD) Hotel Tower is part of a large-scale entertainment resort in Macau, built and owned by Melco Crown Entertainment. The tower, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, is a 40-story hotel with a gross area of 150,000 square meters including guest rooms, suites and villas, gaming rooms, lobby atrium, meeting and event facilities, restaurants, spa and sky pool. Informed by the fluid forms within China’s rich traditions of jade \ncarving, the Morpheus design combines dramatic public spaces and \ngenerous guest rooms with innovative engineering and formal cohesion. The building is mainly a monolithic block with a series of voids which carve through the center of the tower to create a sculptural form. The shape is completed by an exposed exoskeleton, separated from the fa\u00e7ade, that wraps the entire building. In the interior area an expansive entrance brings guests inside a 40-meter high atrium. The building is split between two distinct cores \u2013 either side of the atrium \u2013 which connects to the hotel accommodation floor and VIP gaming areas, while panoramic lifts have views of the voids when ascending the tower.
