HHCP’s international clients also benefit from the diversity of the firm’s design and support staff. Hailing from many different countries and cultures, the staff brings a higher level of international awareness to all of HHCP’s projects overseas. Today, the division’s wide portfolio of work helps it win even more international projects.

Our design teams are committed to excellence and dedicated to providing the highest level of professionalism in everything we do. Moreover, our passion for creating outstanding public and private places constantly spurs our imagination and creativity, enabling us to develop famously innovative solutions for the most challenging and complex projects, including Madinaty a 33.6 million square meter, 600,000 residents new city in Cairo, Egypt. Over the years, HHCP has been honored with numerous awards, including several “ARDY” medals from the American Resort Development Association for projects both domestic and abroad including three prestigious ARDA awards (2004, 2005, and 2006) for the company’s resort architecture and site utilization work on the massive Palm Jumeirah project located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. HHCP has also garnered several awards from the prestigious American Institute of Architects including the coveted Test of Time Award honoring the firm’s design for Shamu Whale Stadium at SeaWorld Orlando. More recently, HHCP was honored with the 2008 Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects for its celebrated “Vertropolis” project, with its integrated vertical master plan—a mixeduse mega structure comprising a unique “super-block” complex located in Arriyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Themed Entertainment Design As a pioneer in themed architecture for such theme park clients as Disney, Universal, and Sea World dating back to the late 1970’s, HHCP has helped plan and design some of the world’s largest theme parks. The often under estimated complexity of good theme park planning and attractions design is a unique specialization of HHCP. When supported by a market analysis expert, we can determine the mix, size, capacity and age appeal of the entire park’s attraction mix, and organize them into sub-theme zones or develop the overall theme as part of our concept design. Today, themed entertainment goes beyond our traditional components of theme parks, water parks, and urban entertainment centers. Recent themed design projects also include Eco-Parks and interactive centers. Regardless of the theme or physical size of the project, the HHCP project design approach is still rooted in the guest experience planning process synonymous with HHCP’s reputation and published recognition.

OUR OTHER AREAS OF EXPERTISE Planning & Mixed-Use When blending compatible components into a mixed-use development, whether it is an urban tower complex, a low density resort community, or a new city, we will focus on the synergetic cross pollination of form, function and financial integration to optimize design and results. We understand the relationship that commercial, recreation, and entertainment components must have to business, municipal, education and residential components when establishing the economic benefits of supportive mixed-use planning. Creating a distinguishing architectural environment is always respectful of natural features, climatic criteria, cultural recognition, and economic conditions to achieve a properly planned, proportioned and articulate identity and sense of place. HHCP has the talent, knowledge, experience, and leadership to achieve a clear and comprehensive vision for mixed-use developments. We are forging new models of mixed-use destinations from the integration of Huburbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (hub of urban activity) in urban renewal, to nature sensitive eco-park resort towns within pristine scenic frontiers. We are proud of our creative design process for mixed-use developments and even more proud of the places that have resulted from it. Residential Community Design Having designed some of the most prominent and prestigious residential resort communities around the world, HHCP focuses on creating a lifestyle that will appeal to each project target market. The amenities of the community, convenience of service, and sensitive relationship to natural features are a critical part of the planning and design of the lifestyle. The architecture in terms of image, function, and cultural criteria are a vital focus in profiling the target market. HHCP realizes that the decision of ones home and the community where they can live, work, and play is one of the most rewarding design opportunities for planning growth and influencing cross cultural quality of life.

Hotel & Resort Design Designing for the best guest experience has always been the focus of our Resort and Hotel Design process. Whether the project is an exclusive boutique hotel, urban convention hotel, prominent golf resort, or an exotic timeshare resort, our designers understand the critical differences of design, function, and finance and market position. Our global experience in evaluating the target market and designing a distinctive product for each new opportunity has often allowed our clients a competitive edge for success and longevity. We pride ourselves in understanding of back-ofhouse operations that facilitate a functional design efficient in both area allocation and staffing. Numerous domestic and international awards from the American Resort Development Association are a clear recognition of our design success, yet the most important recognition is our clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success and millions of happy guests, who enjoy an HHCPdesigned guest experience. Retirement Communities Design The quality reputation and recognition HHCP has earned as a leading design and planning firm of environments for the aging is an accomplishment of great pride for our firm. Understanding the special needs of aging residents within Independent Living Units (ILU), Adult Congregate Living Facilities (ACLF), and Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF) is a unique, specialized, and rewarding design service of HHCP. Creating an adaptive, supportive, comfortable and satisfying home that people in their golden years can enjoy within a community environment that stimulates and motivates a positive and rewarding lifestyle is the goal of every Retirement Resort Community we design. America is a leader in the study and creation of quality retirement communities and the most prominent developers have turned to HHCP for our leadership in planning and design.

Health Facilities Design Our knowledge of healthcare facility design comes from over 35 years of client interaction, continuing education, testing of new design applications and understanding the changing nature of healthcare delivery and facilities. We strive for flexibility in the design, as well as functional enhancement, aesthetic quality and economic viability of our healthcare facilities. HHCP Healthcare consists of a highly talented group of designers, planners, managers, project coordinators and support staff who have dedicated their careers to the design of healthcare facilities. Their hands-on knowledge of multiple healthcare project types range from replacement hospitals to additions/renovations for womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and infants centers, imaging centers, outpatient surgical centers, emergency departments and medical office buildings.

Profile In the crafting of any fine musical instrument, the sound quality ultimately depends on a delicate balance of reverberation and projection. The same principles apply when designing a musical performance hall—and that’s why the HHCP designers approached the Shenyang Cultural Arts Center/Odeum as if they were designing an enormous acoustical instrument. The Center’s two large concert halls (combined seating capacity: 1,750) were designed in a “back-to-back” arrangement, with the two stages sharing a central backstage service spine. In addition to establishing a new trend in functionality, this strategy gives each concert hall its own specific lobby at opposite ends of the building, resulting in an organized separation of the audiences and a unique identity for each performance venue. The polished wood finishes of the paired concert halls were inspired by the wooden acoustical chamber of a mandolin. Those instrumental contours also influenced the performance halls’ distinctive forms. An undulating glass case encapsulates the performance halls, forming the lobbies and circulation spaces while providing splendid views of the city across the river. The artistic composition of a solid mass within a transparent shell becomes a dramatic architectural feature both day and night, coupling beautiful aesthetics with magnificent acoustics.

The Palm Jumeirah is a man-made archipelago created by land reclamation and is the first man-made earth form identified by the human eye from outer space. Designed as a solution to create tourism components for the rapidly growing Dubai market, the program features more than 60 km (37 miles) of new shoreline created from 90+ million cubic meters of rock, sand and earth all taken from local resources.

CAIRO, EGYP T

Profile Welcome to Madinaty. The name means “my city.” But that name is more than a catchy moniker for a luxurious new residential and resort community. In fact, the term “my city” perfectly encapsulates the core philosophy of the development. For Madinaty is, in its purest expression, a place where every resident can experience a sense of individuality and exclusivity that has become increasingly rare in today’s mass-produced, conformist world. At Madinaty, “It’s all about you.” Madinaty’s commitment to individuality and exclusivity suffuses every aspect of the development. Those qualities are reflected in the range of residential living opportunities, distributed among three residential districts (“zones”) with an array of sumptuous estate homes, elegant villas, and stylish executive golf villas that reflect a heightened level of flexibility, identity, and image to create a sense of place and community. They are represented in the sense of privacy and seclusion designed into the master plan. They reveal themselves in the oasis-inspired landscape and hardscape design that manifests itself in beautiful jewel-like gardens spread throughout the community. They are in full display in the luxury hotels, upscale boutiques, and classy restaurants of the retail complex. They are a guiding principle in the sprawling 45-hole championship grade golf course, which is actually comprised of five 9-hole golf courses, where golfers can combine and “configure” the holes in adjoining courses to customize a unique 18-hole course to their personal preferences. And those qualities are especially prominent in the three elegantly exclusive clubs—including the Private Club and its breathtaking assortment of top-notch facilities, services and amenities.

Profile Amidst the neighboring towers and mega-complexes of Abu Dhabi, HHCPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BoatHouse concept offers residents and visitors a uniquely human-scaled, walkable community. It is a mixed-use development that brings together residential, retail, hospitality and recreational opportunities in a high-end, pedestrian-friendly environment exemplifying the principles of compact urban growth at their most intelligent and aesthetic. In the BoatHouse all the activities of daily living are conveniently situated within walking distance, in addition to being accessible by surface transportation and water taxi. A dynamic yacht club, a signature 18-hole golf course, and a luxury retail, dining and entertainment complex are all arrayed along the waterfront where the reflections of stilt buildings, island townhouses, water palaces, and cove residences shimmer in the azure waters alongside the stately marina. The BoatHouse presents a reassuring sense of place and community against the backdrop of the rapidly changing Abu Dhabi cityscape. Here, the buildings and landscaping contribute to the physical definition of thoroughfares as civic spaces, while neighborhood parks, squares, and playgrounds dot the complex, inviting resident interaction. The different neighborhoods of BoatHouse offer a range of housing types and price levels, encouraging a population that is diverse in age and income.

Profile After the devastating 2008, 8.0 earthquake in Szechuan Province that killed more than 80,000 people and left 4.8 million homeless, the first priority for the City of Dujiangyan was to create temporary housing for tens of thousands of families. The next priority was to build a new urban core that would enhance the lifestyle of the residents in the community. The name ‘Phoenix’ was derived from the mythological bird and is in recognition of the city’s rebirth. The urban district is planned at the crossroads of the newly constructed high speed rail and urban light rail, becoming the new arrival gateway for the city. In looking to the future, Phoenix Gateway City will also serve as a tourism anchor for the famous 2000 year old Dujiangyan irrigation system, which remained intact in spite of the earthquake’s impact. The site contains an array of concrete flyovers that support the rail system. The flyovers’ easements and building setbacks were optimized by creating a pedestrianfriendly public park system that weaves a mix of business, commercial, cultural, entertainment, recreational and residential components throughout the 1,650-acre master plan. The architectural design and massing of the built environment was developed with special attention to solar angles and the overall skyline. The building designs are strongly influenced by the crossing patterns of woven bamboo and the smooth river stones of the historic 2000 year old dam.

Like a bouquet of colorful flowers blossoming among the desert dunes, the three towers of the Vertropolis complex reach toward the Riyadh sky. By day, they glitter beneath the sun; in the evening hours, they glow softly against the darkening sky in hues that shift and ripple through the color spectrum. With the tallest of the towers twisting gracefully over 400 meters into the heavens atop a trio of sand dune-inspired podiums, the complex embodies the modernist notion of “sculptural objects in the landscape”—a gleaming oasis rising out of the wilderness.

• 2008 Award of Excellence American Institute of Architects

Vertropolis is a mixed-use “super block” centered on a true “city in the sky”—a visionary vertical master planned development that promises to become the most desirable business, residential and commercial address in Riyadh. Water is the dominant landscape element here, with large water features—including a pair of water parks—helping to reinforce the impression of the Vertropolis development as a verdant oasis. The Vertropolis complex will also stand as a leading example of green design because of its “whole-building” approach to sustainability, setting a new benchmark in the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings in the region. At every level, Vertropolis will demonstrate the principles of a self-sustaining and ecologically sympathetic created environment, an innovative urban and architectural solution for a thriving, forward-looking 21st century city.

Profile As fish stories go, this one is a whopper: a mixed-use residential resort community that covers two square kilometers—all in the shape of a giant fish. Planned as a showcase project for Shanghai, the enormous aquatic icon landform known as “The Shanghai Fish” will become a center of the city’s luxurious marina lifestyle community—a project that will exemplify the theme of “Better City, Better Life.” Designed to become a high profile iconic landform like HHCP’s project The Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, The Shanghai Fish’s signature architectural features are cleverly integrated with the earth-sculpted water form. The mixed-use development will include an interactive maritime museum, located in the “eye” of the fish; an elegant retail pier, which curves around to follow the contour of the fish’s “gill;” and an island of nightclubs and internationally themed seafood restaurants, situated on the “side fin.” A pair of lakeside marinas, occupying the “upper and lower fins,” will provide mooring slips accommodating over 300 boats. The Shanghai Fish will also offer a seasonal mix of visitor attractions including a spectacular nighttime musical fountain and laser show at the fish head lagoon.

CIT Y WALK

CAIRO, EGYP T

Profile Situated on a 54,000m2 site on one of the main cross-roads in Al Rehab, City Walk stands out like an oasis in the desert, sparkling with promise and opportunities. The site’s relationship to the street serves as more than an access and circulation solution; in fact, the streetscape plan is a key element of City Walk’s innovative character, separating vehicular traffic from pedestrian circulation while incorporating landscape and hardscape features expertly configured to evoke a unique sense of place. Within the complex’s picturesque, campus-like setting, the buildings of City Walk offer an inspirational design that tastefully and stylishly reflect the nature of the buildings’ occupants. Together, the architecture and the surrounding green-scape help establish a user-friendly park-like environment that will serve to inspire and entertain all who visit here. Collectively, the built space will ultimately enclose 50,000m2. Each building also has its own unique courtyard, helping to establish that building’s identity while creating a distinctive guest experience. This mixed-use district of Al Rehab houses the complex’s versatile retail showrooms, boutiques and high-end clothiers, gift shops, movie theatres and entertainment venues as well as, large anchor stores and hyper-market designed to meet all shopping needs. Flexible and stylish office space is located directly above the retail, providing tenants and their customers with valuable proximity and an exceptional level of convenience. The ambiance of style and grace that typifies the City Walk’s complex extends to its dining facilities. From lavish full-service restaurants to casual outdoor cafés, City Walk offers something to delight and impress every palette and every appetite. With so much culinary quality and variety, City Walk is destined to become one of the most relaxing places to shop and do business in Cairo. In these and so many other ways, City Walk will stand as a beacon to Cairo, announcing to one and all that Al Rehab is officially “open for business”—a metropolis on the cutting edge, overflowing with commercial opportunities.
