Inside Asian Gaming

IAG AUG 2020年8月 亞博匯 33 封面故事 original plan, while maintaining or even slightly increasing the 544,801 square meters (5.86 million square feet) of building area approved by shareholders. NagaCorp anticipates replacing guest rooms with more “revenue generating space,” including the Sky Street recreation and high-end gaming areas, though casino space will comprise no more than 7% of the IR’s built area. Hong Kong Stock Exchange filings indicate Naga3 “will host a diverse mix of activities for families and guests – including hospitality, dining, conferencing and theme park areas,” but the company remains tight- lipped about specifics. “I believe that the proposed uses in Naga 3 will fill the building with energy and income-producing spaces for all demographics,” Steelman, whose firm has been assigned interior architecture and design, says. “Dr Chen has so many great ideas; he is an innovator in the integrated resort industry and Naga 3 will be his crown jewel,” Steelman adds. “In discussing Naga 3 with Dr Chen’s operational team, the built-up excitement reminds me of our first meetings in 1986 with Steve [Wynn] and the Mirage. Steve and Dr Chen dreamed and planned in their mind what a perfect resort could be for many years.” Naga3 presents significant development challenges. At 544,801 square meters, the new IR will have nearly as much gross floor area as Marina Bay Sands at 581,400 square meters, shoehorned into a 1.2 hectare site, compared with the 15.5 hectare plot for MBS. “Naga 3 is a very large building uniquely designed to fit into the urban fabric of Phnom Penh,” Steelman, architect for Naga2, says. “It is designed on a relatively small parcel of property when compared to an 創收空間 金界公司稱，「改進」後的Naga3設計方案將酒店房間數量從 原定計劃中減少了1,200間，同時保留了甚至小幅增加了股東批准 的544,801平方米（586萬平方英尺）的建築面積。金界公司希望利 用更多的「創收空間」取代客房，包括上街（Sky Street）的休閒區 和高端博彩娛樂區，儘管整個娛樂場空間所佔IR的建築面積不能 超過7％。 港交所的文件顯示，Naga3「將為家庭及賓客舉辦各式各樣的 活動，包括招待、餐飲、會議及主題樂園區。」但該公司就仍對具體 細節守口如瓶。 Steelman表示，「我相信Naga 3的擬議用途將令建築物充滿 活力和創收空間。」。他的公司承接了項目的室內建築和設計工作。 「Chen博士有很多偉大的想法。他是綜合度假村行業的創新 者，Naga3將是他皇冠上的明珠。」Steelman補充道。「在與Chen 博士的運營團隊討論Naga3時，當時令人興奮的場景讓我想起了 1986年我們與史提芬·永利一起討論The Mirage時的情境。多年 來，史提芬和Chen博士都一直在計劃著打造一個夢想中的完美度 假村。」 Naga3也為發展帶來了重大挑戰。新的IR佔地面積為544,801 平方米，總建築面積接近濱海灣金沙的581,400平方米，但佔地僅 為1.2公頃。相比之下濱海灣金沙的佔地面積為15.5公頃。 「Naga3是一棟非常大的建築，設計獨特，適合金邊的城市結 構，」曾擔任過Naga2的建築師 Steelman表示。「與拉斯維加斯或 澳門的綜合度假村相比，它的佔地面積較小。但由於位於柬埔寨 的城市和商業中心，這棟建築的面積算是非常龐大的。」 這位建築師將Naga3的垂直設計與澳門半島上銀娛旗下的星 際酒店作比較，就建築面積而言，後者是全球收入最高的設施之 一。
