Atkins is providing architecture, as well as structural and civil engineering services for this leisure resort in China that includes extreme sports facilities, a visitor center, and a five-star luxury hotel with some levels of the hotel located under water. Sustainability is integral to Atkins' design of this unique resort, built into an abandoned, water-filled quarry.

Our design solution includes the use of green roofing and exploits the site’s geothermal heat to generate electricity and heating. A naturally lit internal atrium incorporates the existing rock face, with its waterfalls and green vegetation.
