Nina Ballroom, located in Tsuen Wan, an urban district in Hong Kong with a population of over 300,000; is part of the renovation and rejuvenation of the Nina Tower, the tallest building in the district.
The brand takes Generosity and Social Responsibility as its key attributes, which are well expressed in Nina Ballroom. The largest social event space within a hotel in the northern part of Hong Kong cosmopolitan area, measuring 3,430 m2, it is capable of hosting more than 1000 guests in a grand space that can be subdivided into 3 smaller event halls, the design marries grand scale with intricate attention to details to create an urban event center for social gathering that symbolizes the energy and sophistication of Hong Kong.
The Bauhinia, Hong Kong’s regional flower, is used as the inspiration for the dramatic custom designed ceiling feature and the carpet design. Utilizing a color palette of white and gold, the design aims to break the conventional use of crystal chandeliers and marble by using fabric, computer cut metal plates and aluminum extruded panels and ivory colored resin panels to create a soft, sensuous space that reflects feminine elegance, which is echoed in the rippled and stepped ceiling, the flowing curtains and fluted columns and the flower clusters in the ceiling feature.
The brand attribute of Generosity is expressed through the grandness of the space, the fully equipped AV and lighting systems, the interconnection between the pre-function space into the ballroom through 11 pairs of 2m x 3.4m large gold leaved doors with Philip Watts Design doorpulls. Color changing LED light along the walls cast dramatic light beams onto the rippled walls. Equipped with 150 s.m. of LED screen, this is the most unique and tech-savvy ballroom in Hong Kong.
Wrapping around the Ballroom is a horseshoe shaped pre-function area of 1,000 m². A reflective marble floor and reflective Barrisol ceiling adds to the verticality of the dramatic space. Custom designed ceiling feature lighting of glass and metal also turns into wall sconces and an art installation on the wall opposite the arrival lifts. A white and gold palette dominates the space while groups of pink and green B&B Italia furniture adds generous lounge comfort for the guests. Sliding wall panels conceal a bar that can serve pre-function reception.
