Atlantis, The Palm_Interior_Lobby

ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN

• Architectural Designer: Wimberly, Tong and Goo
• Interior design: Wilson and Associates
• Contractor: Laing O’Rourke
• Landscape architecture: EDSA
• Lobby sculpture: Dale Chihuly
• Lobby murals: Albino Gonzalez
• Materials used:
  • 10,000 lights
  • 54,000 trees
  • 2,250 tonnes of marble
  • 58,000km steel bars (that’s more than nine times the length of the Great Wall of China)
  • Over 120 architects and engineers worked on the project, from 35 different consulting companies in nine countries across three continents and 12 time zones.

CONCEPT Wimberly, Tong and Goo

Led by the vision of the late Sol Kerzner, former Chairman of Kerzner International, Kerzner’s brief to the designers was to ‘come up with something that captured the essence of Atlantis (the legendary island that sank into the ocean as depicted in the works of Plato). The result was sun-kissing spires, Moorish archways, Arabian-inspired lamps and palm-shaped pillars tied together with accents of traditional Middle Eastern vernacular architecture such as hand-wrought iron columns of flowers, leaves and buds.

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION Wimberly, Tong and Goo & Laing O’Rourke

Atlantis was designed by Wimberly, Tong and Goo, an international firm specialising in luxury hotel complexes. The design incorporates classical Arabian architecture in both the interior and exterior of the 23-storey hotel, with semi-precious stones, intricate fossilised shells and 'fish' stones included throughout. The contractor, Laing O’Rourke, developed the hotel envelope using a modular precast glass-fibre/reinforced concrete façade, which was installed by their in-house specialists Emirates Precast. They also developed a pioneering facility to pre-assemble modular bathroom ‘pods’ in a controlled factory environment. 1,500 pods were delivered direct to the site and installed at a rate of 38 per week. The logistical operation to facilitate the build of the intricate design presented challenges. A highly complex operation was set up involving road deliveries, handling and distribution, temporary utilities, communication systems and traffic management . It was completed two months ahead of schedule.

THE LOBBY Wimberly, Tong and Goo & Laing O’Rourke

The 19-metre high Grand Lobby presents a dazzling interplay of water, light and sound with a wall of windows offering stunning vistas of the azure waters of The Palm and beaches along the Arabian Gulf. Moving across the lobby’s travertine marble floors, guests enjoy a symphony of sound as a water wall cascades into a babbling pool, a soothing reminder of the surrounding sea.
