International Business Center and Intercontinental Hotel Competiton, Yerevan Armenia
Samuel Gyulnazarian, (USA) and Lusine Vehapetyan, (Armenia) entered this competition in January 2010. This competition entry capitalizing on the prominent site. It occupies a 50 m tall hill dominating the central Yerevan. The views to the South are more than spectacular, with the city panorama on the foreground and Biblical Mt. Ararat in the background.
The created design is a 90,000 SM mixed-use development that aside from the 225 room hotel and IBC also includes a Ballroom, 75 serviced apartments, a gated residential complex with condominiums and a park, a number of bars and restaurants, a Theater, an exhibition center with a sculpture garden, a Health and Wellness Center with a spa, Sauna, Turkish and Russian baths, indoor and outdoor pools, 540 car parking garage etc.
The solution accomplishes a complete separation of public, service, and VIP circulation. One hundred percent of all hotel rooms, serviced apartments, and condominiums face South, or in some cases South-East, as required by the local code. In addition, all habitable rooms have a panoramic view of central Yerevan with Mt.Ararat as the backdrop. The PublicPlaza connecting all components also enjoys similar views.
Special attention was given to the utilization of local building materials where possible, with the hope that this step would also help the local economy. All short facades of both the HotelTower and Serviced Apartments’ Tower are clad with polished Musa-Ler Basalt. The Theater walls inside the glass enclosure are clad with Burakan Tufa.
The roofs of the Theater and IBC / Ballroom prefunction are glass, and equipped with “smart” louvers that will, depending on the sun’s intensity and/or angle, adjust the shading. Photosensitive devices control layers of translucent fabric that will contract/expand or rotate as needed for inside comfort.
The HotelTower’s South façade and Atrium’s West façade are equipped with ventilated double façade to be able to handle the harsh Yerevan sun in the summer. Balconies and terraces in the Serviced Apartments and all residential buildings have intentionally deep balconies to provide protection from the overhead sun.
