EXTENTION
The extension to the Peninsula Hotel was executed under
numerous constraints:
 the site’s limitation on footprint;
 the complexity of programmes and circulations;
 the imperative on preservation;
 the parallel process of hotel operation and construction.

Contemporary construction techniques and materials are adapted SOUTH ELEVATION

with the original building. The resulting design represents a NORTH ELEVATION

design of 1928.
