Horizon by SkyCity

Occupying a remnant of land between the new International Convention Centre and the TVNZ building, the Horizon hotel plan form is shaped by constraints – a microwave signal corridor covenant attached to its broadcast neighbour and a protected volcanic cone view shaft. The resulting elliptical plan is a defining moment for the project, providing both highly legible single-loaded circulation for guests and the building's sculptural form. Subtly referencing its TVNZ neighbour to the north, it also creates opportunities for entrance definition in a newly created laneway between the hotel and its monolithic neighbour to the south. This is an important and elegant insertion into an area that is becoming a gateway to the CBD.
