Gaofu’s urban renewal project in Shanghai harmonizes historical preservation with modern design, nestled near cultural heritage areas and Yanzhong Greenland. The 150m supertall structure and mixed-use development integrate Shikumen-style elements (rounded corners, chamfered edges, and arched motifs) evoking classic Shanghai architecture while embracing sustainable urbanism. The layout prioritizes natural light and views: south/east facades maximize solar exposure and park vistas, while a north-elevated ground floor ensures safe access and streetfront cohesion.
