SHANGHAI ASCENDAS PLAZA

AICO was tasked with architectural and interior renovation of this downtown Shanghai’s urban redevelopment project. Located at the central Xuhui District, the development aims to capitalize on high levels of accessibility and create the social hub for the district.



The framework was formulated and crafted by overlaying corporate workplace, co-working space and retail with a community inspired experience, resulting in a unified and distinct design language - a sequence of unique and characteristic spaces that encourages social interaction. We created a dialogue between the building and the urban environment, at the same time, the elaborate facade improves the aesthetics of the district.



This small and exquisite complex has set a new benchmark for Shanghai's urban renewal projects.
