SHENZHEN PEARL INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL CENTER

The project is located on an old district commercial street in Shenzhen, China. The city intends to use this site to revitalize and upgrade the adjacent area to regain the vanishing glory. The parcel is adjacent to the main street at north and east, with zoning requirement of public open space along the north. The total gross floor area is around 93,000 square meters, and the program is office, hotel and retail.



The tower’s design concept is Magnolia flower bud, a local flower species. Vertically curved massing, corner cut and façade rim gently sculpture and accentuate the flower pedals.



Entrance canopy, and tower crown further defined the curved design vocabularies and enrich the tower’s poetic connections to the nature, sky and earth.



Sunken plaza at the north is designed for the required public space which can bring in natural light for basement and create quiet and sound place for the neighborhood and project users to escape from the daily routines.



Crystal shape podium façade activates and engages the building with the public space and provides rich impression in addition to curve design elements. Events and celebrations will be often hosted in the sunken plaza to welcome guests. A cable bridge links the corporate icon with the surrounding communities.
