Shenzhen UDC Nanshan, Plot B

The office and residential complex consists of total of five towers on three plots. They form an ensemble with adjoining base zones, pavilions and connecting bridges. The entire building complex comprises 210,000 square metres of gross floor area above ground plus three basement levels. One of the most important elements of the design is the lush landscaping concept: generous green spaces offer office workers and residents alike quiet areas in nature, despite the dense urban environment. There are gardens on the ground, on the pedestrian bridges and on the roofs, where people can linger. Two-storey base zones on the towers, together with pavilions, provide space for a variety of shops, restaurants and cafes. Three of the towers are used for offices, while the other two are apartments. The tallest tower, at 150 metres, serves as the client's headquarters. The first level, below ground, provides shopping facilities, canteens and attractive access via the low-lying gardens. Public bridges connect the buildings on the three sites.
