Hotel Indigo, Hong Kong, One AIA Financial Centre and Olympia 66 in China topped several award categories at the 2013 Cityscape Awards developed to celebrate global excellence in real-estate development and architecture.

The Dubai-based ceremony saw Aedas claim the leisure and tourism project award, commercial and mixed use project award and the retail project award for recognition of their capability to deliver world-class design solutions tailored to the needs of communities around the world.

One of the winning projects, Hotel Indigo Hong Kong Island features a striking golden bronze dragon wrapped around the building, creating a unique and cultural aspect to the world-class skyline. The building also features a dramatic glass bottomed cantilevered pool on the roof top – shimmering at night, the gleaming water is considered to be a pearl often associated with Chinese dragons.

Located in Foshan, China, One AIA Financial Center is LEED Gold certified. Towering 130 metres with a podium that offers training facilities and a multi-purpose hall, this office tower is located in the southwest corner of the project site with an open lake view, ample daylight and abundant greenery.

The design of Olympia 66, a six-storey shopping mall in Dalian, China, is inspired by the Chinese twin carp, a traditional symbol of wealth and abundance. The unique play of two swimming carp flows through the entire retail atrium creating a diverse lifestyle experience for the local market.

Celebrating excellence in real estate development and architecture, the 2013 Cityscape Awards for Emerging Markets offer international architects and leading real estate developers a prestigious platform from which to communicate a shared vision for the future.
