Two Hotels In One Building With Streamlined Fire Protection
Contractor: Icon
In 2021, Icon contracted Passive Fire NZ as the fire-stopping partner for their 39-storey, 140-meter-tall hotel development, one of the most innovative hospitality projects in New Zealand. This complex, high-rise construction featured two independently operated hotel chains stacked within a single tower. The build required a synergised passive fire solution to ensure seamless fire protection across both properties.
The façade design was critical to the build’s success, incorporating in-situ concrete, non-loadbearing precast elements and a high-performance articulated curtain wall system. While maintaining a cohesive exterior aesthetic, the structural design allowed for construction flexibility inside, including shared plant and equipment infrastructure where possible.
With 494 guest rooms, a sky lounge bar, conference facilities, and retail spaces, both hotels required high-quality, compliant passive fire protection to meet strict safety standards. Passive Fire NZ delivered seamless, regulation-compliant fire-stopping solutions, ensuring a safe, reliable fire protection system for this landmark dual-hotel development.
