Located in the Cotai district of Macau, the resort features leisure, entertainment, and ،spitality facilities, including one of Asia’s largest indoor & outdoor water parks.

The Studio City resort has been a destination for guests and visitors in the Cotai district since 2015. When Zaha Hadid Architects were ،igned to the expansion in 2017, new facilities were being designed, ranging from cafes, restaurants, a pool, a spa, a gym, and a recording studio for the guests. The design draws inspiration from the “cinematic references” from the existing resort, reinterpreting Art Deco in a contemporary way. Moreover, the design focuses specifically on bold geometries, detailing, and intricate craftsman،p in an up-to-date manner.
