Architectural Design

This legendary residence, superbly designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), will become the most prestigious urban dwelling in Las Vegas and set a new standard of style with state-of-the-art suites, amenities and architectural design.

From the outside, the colors and textures of the development will respond to the desert surroundings and crystalline light, bringing harmony and balance to a high-energy cityscape.

With a focus on environmental consideration, the design of Mandarin Oriental’s façade will reduce solar heat gain while optimizing daily and visual acuity. Sophisticated lighting and thermal comfort controls will enhance the experience for residents and guests. Mandarin Oriental was designed to save an estimated 3.5 million gallons of water annually, equating to a savings of 35 percent within the building.

The approach is flexible, innovative and performance driven, maximizing the building’s value over the long term.

Living Spaces

Perched on the upper floors of Mandarin Oriental, residential interiors have been crafted with studied, meticulous care by the distinguished design and architecture firms of Kay Lang & Associates* and Page & Steele Interior Architects*. Contemporary living spaces will be characterized by an artful, Eastern approach in a decadent selection of color palettes, materials and finishes. Contrasting textures and colors will create a Zen-like ambiance. Golden accents will supply warmth, complemented by darker, more masculine details. Residences will feature high ceilings, expansive picture windows,stained hardwood flooring, ambient lighting, spacious bedrooms and spa-style bathrooms with a modern free-standing tub, walk-in shower and separate powder room with custom wood vanity.

The unparalleled Fine Art Collection will feature works by acclaimed artists including Maya Lin, Jenny Holzer, Nancy Rubins, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, Frank Stella, Henry Moore, Richard Long, François-Xavier and Claude Lalanne, and Isa Genzken, among others. The collection will encompass a multitude of styles and media ranging from sculptures and paintings to large-scale installations. Some will be existing pieces, carefully chosen for their artistic value and cultural significance; others will be site-specific installations for which the artist has been invited to command their vision over the space.

The exterior of Mandarin Oriental will feature Typewriter Eraser, Scale X, 1998-1999, a legendary piece by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. Designed with the pair’s classic approach to creating large- scale outdoor sculptures of popular commercial objects, the four-ton, 19-foot stainless steel and fiberglass sculpture depicts a giant blue and red typewriter eraser with the bristles of the brush turned upward in a graceful, dynamic gesture. In Mandarin Oriental’s lobby, three of Jun Kaneko’s sculptures will be featured: Untitled, Triangle Dango, 1996; Untitled, Dango, 2002; and Untitled, Dango, 1992. Made entirely of clay and fired in a giant kiln, the tallest of the three sculptures measures 7 feet tall. Mandarin Oriental’s sky lobby will showcase Jack Goldstein’s Untitled (Volcano), 1983, which measures 8 feet tall by 8 feet wide. The painting depicts an explosive and vibrant image of an erupting volcano.

Lastly, in accordance with Mandarin Oriental’s traditions and values of Asian hospitality, Masatoshi Izumi’s sculpture Untitled, 2007-2008, will be presented in the hotel’s entrance, welcoming guests in a Zen-like manner. Following CityCenter’s ideals of sustainability, the sculpture is made of large pieces of intricately carved basalt, a form of lava that has cooled on the surface of a volcano. The sculpture stands more than 16 feet tall and weighs approximately 8 tons.
