Hotel Icon is one of my favorite designed hotels in Asia -- I have used this hotel design as a precedent for past projects and last winter I was so excited to see the hotel in person while on holiday in Hong Kong.  The 470,000 square meter hotel completed in March 2011 was designed by celebrated architects Terence Conran, Rocco Yim, and William Lim.  Hotel Icon's design concept had to combine ecology,  education,  art,  and design.  A major project focus was the incorporation of art installations and designs by students and locally-based artists.  One of the most breathtaking elements I saw was the enormous interior living green wall used in the lobby and restaurant to absorb carbon.  Be inspired.....
