| DESIGN DETAILS |
DESIGN NAME:
Nansha Kingboard Plaza
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Office
INSPIRATION:
The design draws inspiration from the forceful character of the mountains in South Guangdong, with volumes stacked and rotated in sections, rendering an image of a classic ink painting scroll.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The architecture is grandeur like an entrance gate at Jiaomen riverside, symbolising Nansha Free Trade Zone as a maritime gateway to the Belt and Road open to future opportunities and challenges.The building form goes well with morphology, allowing diversified silhouettes from different perspectives with the programmatically logical, weaved geometric blocks.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
The base of the building is occupied by retail and office spaces, while the upper floors house residential units of different sizes. The multiple roofs are transformed into sky gardens, and an infinity swimming pool is installed to provide a panoramic view of the city, overlooking rolling hills and streaming rivers.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
This project is located at Nansha Free Trade Zone in Guangzhou where the starting point of the ancient ‘Maritime Silk Road’ is. The design reveals the ‘Gate of Maritime Silk Road’. The project started in June 2017 and finished in January 2021.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Architecture, Building and Structure Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
The facade is made of simple horizontal sunshade shutters and double-layer glass curtain wall system. The horizontal lines are merged with the twisted volume where elegant arcs emerge to create a layered visual experience. The surrounding landscape is designed in a coherent linear architectural language. Incorporating a series of green terraces, decks and water features, the landscape design also celebrates Nansha’s waterfront culture and provide abundant public green space for the residents. The project achieves China Green Building 2 stars.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
The design breaks up the building mass to form a zigzag layout which precludes blocking between the towers, maximising view and natural light intake. It also creates a buffer zone between the architecture and the light rail track that runs along its west boundary to minimise noise impact.
