DESIGN NAME: Shenzhen Luohu Friendship Trading Centre
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Mixed Use – Retail, office & service apa
INSPIRATION: With the use of metaphor on Calla Lily which is a symbol of youth and rebirth and its white colour represents pure friendship, the design represents the rebirth of the existing ‘Friendship City’ in Luohu. The concept is revealed through the tower form that opens up at the top and the northwest corner allowing a downward green spine to the podium and ground plane. The cascading 7-storey podium creates a vertical public realm, integrating landscape components with the surrounding context.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This redevelopment is envisioned to transfigure a current department store into a skyscraper in Shenzhen, with a 7-storey vibrant and porous retail podium which stacks up various dynamic and organic-form boxes, delivering a new, sustainable and iconic design for the bustling city. The architecture features landscaped public spaces and terraces in the podium, with green balconies along one of the tower’s edges, integrating well with abundant green spaces to provide a healthy ecological ground.
