From a tower wrapped in green netting after topping-out, Wink Hanoi Westlake now has the look of a WINK-branded hotel. Its transformation has been captured from the same familiar viewpoint: the guard booth, the round street lamp and the blue hoarding stay where they are, while the tower behind them keeps changing.
At topping-out, the tower crane was still standing on the roof. The main structure had been completed on an infill site, built right alongside existing buildings.
As the project moved into the finishing phase, the netting was removed section by section, revealing white-painted walls from the lower floors upward. Hundreds of staggered windows then emerged across the elevation, from base to rooftop.
In the next stage, five-colour perforated fins were installed around each window and the WINK logo was mounted at the top of the tower. For a branded hotel, the façade is the first thing guests see, even before the lobby. Every fin therefore has to be the right colour and in the right position, exactly as drawn, so that the building carries the image the developer and operator have defined for it.
Glazing, plastering and painting, and fin installation are all work carried out at height, within the tight footprint of an infill site. At the same time, inside the tower, the Viteccons team is completing the MEP systems and guestroom interiors in preparation for the hotel's opening.
Wink Hanoi Westlake is the third project Viteccons has delivered for developer Indochina Kajima within the Wink hotel chain, following Wink Can Tho and Wink Hai Phong. Both of those hotels are now in operation.
Viteccons sincerely thanks Indochina Kajima, the consultants and all partners for their trust and collaboration throughout the project.
