Located in Lu Dan Village of Luohu, Shenzhen, the project enjoys a significant view of the river and a direct access to Shenzhen Metro Line 9. It is the first eco-landmark along Binhe Avenue. The building height is approximately 150 metres, consisting of a 3-storey basement, 7-storey commercial podium and 26-storey office building.
The team adopted a ‘Double-sided + Upwards’ concept to mitigate noise from the main traffic roads and visual blockage by surrounding buildings. ‘Double-sided’ refers to how the north side of the building complements the image of Binhe Avenue as the face of the city, while its south-facing orientation satisfies the general public’s preference for residential buildings. ‘Upwards’ refers to the optimisation of mid-level office orientations, which extends upwards to maximise office space and enhance the building form.
