DRAGON-INSPIRED HOTEL CONVEYS vietnamese hospitality An international Building Team unites to create Vietnam’s first JW Marriott luxury property. BY RAISSA ROCHA, ASSOCIATE EDITOR T he JW Marriott brand holds high standards for its luxury hotels, and the new property in Hanoi, Vietnam, is no different. The 74,384-sm building conveys a distinct Vietnamese flair, with its stylized dragon form inspired by local mythology and the country’s coastline. Sited next to the Vietnam National Convention Center and the Hanoi Museum, convenient to nearby tourist attractions, the JW Marriott Hanoi greets visitors with a landscaped, semi-circular courtyard. Below this raised entry plaza lies a podium level housing two ballrooms; meeting facilities; dining, bar, and lounge areas; three levels of indoor parking; and back-of-house support functions. Atop the podium, the hotel includes a grand lobby, 450 guest rooms and suites, an executive lounge, a glass-enclosed rooftop swimming pool, and a fitness center. The hotel is built for ADA compliance, even though no such laws currently exist in Vietnam. Accommodations include wider entry corridors in several rooms and special considerations in bathroom facilities. Elegant finishes are a priority throughout. “It’s not easy working with Marriott’s standards,” remarks Building 44 JUNE 2014 BUILDING DESIGN+CONSTRUCTION Team Awards judge Susan Heinking, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP O+M, Vice President and Director of Sustainability at VOA Associates. Indeed, this Building Team had to navigate a thicket of design requirements, including directives from owner Bitexco Group, Marriott International, and the neighboring Vietnam National Convention Center. Marriott’s in-house architectural group—responsible for overseeing design of all the brand’s hotels and resorts—was brought in at several stages for input and approval, but adherence to their standards proved difficult when financial problems led to a two-year delay. Marriott criteria had changed in the interim, and new design styles caused previously selected finishes to be rejected. In addition, the clients decided to reorganize the site to make room for two villas, scrapping plans to build tennis courts and install a significant amount of landscaping. Even basic communication was a concern, with Building Team members and consultants such as Turner Construction, Carlos Zapata Studio, Leslie E. Robertson Associates, and DSA Engineering scattered among offices in nine different countries. The firms decided early on that English would be the standard for all communications. Vietnam is still a developing country in many aspects, so there was www.BDCnetwork.com PROJECT SUMMARY GOLD AWARD BUILDING TEAM Submitting firm: Turner International – Vietnam (CM) Owner/developer: Bitexco Group Hotel operator: Marriott International Architect: Carlos Zapata Studio Architect of record: Viet Nam National Construction Consultants Corporation Interior architects: Peter Silling & Associates Hotel Interior Design; DWP | Design Worldwide Partnership Structural: Leslie E.

COURTESY MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL JW Marriott Hanoi Hotel Hanoi, Vietnam The structure is constructed on a podium, with ballrooms and restaurants on the lowest floor enjoying riverfront views. A curtain wall system at the podium level brings natural light into the hotel’s café. Elegant finishes were a priority for the owner. concern about the availability of skilled workers. Safety was also paramount, with Turner implementing weekly training sessions and audits to reinforce this priority for crews. Figuring out the best way to deploy teams—and to keep employees reporting through delays and cashflow difficulties—made construction management even more complex. The Building Team brought in international consultants and engineers when expertise was needed on elements unfamiliar to Vietnamese partner firms, such as the cantilevered design and structural steel construction. Sika, which supplied the waterproofing system for the podium roof, sent employees to train contractors onsite to prevent leaks that could threaten the ballrooms below. The way the JW Marriott Hanoi came together in spite of the obstacles and difficulty level impressed the Building Team Awards judges. Says juror Matthew Dumich, AIA, of Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture: “It’s as if someone said, ‘No one knows how to do any of this stuff. Let’s do it anyway.’ And it works.” + www.BDCuniversity.com BUILDING DESIGN+CONSTRUCTION JUNE 2014 45 Project Information Sheet Project Name and Location (city/state) JW Marriott Hanoi, Hanoi, Vietnam __________________________________________________________________________ Name of Firm Submitting this Entry Turner Vietnam __________________________________________________________________________ Construction Start and Finish Dates November 2009 to September 2013 __________________________________________________________________________ Project Size (Gross Square Feet) Site Area: 79,000 m2; Construction floor area: 74,384 m2 __________________________________________________________________________ Delivery Method/Contract Type (Design/Bid/Build, Design/Build, CM at Risk, etc.) Fast track, PM/CM as agent __________________________________________________________________________ *Total Project Cost (required information) CONFIDENTIAL AT CLIENT REQUEST __________________________________________________________________________ *You may supply financial information confidentially, if necessary.
