Description :
Accentuating the busy corner of Ya Nan Rd. this mIxed-use
development consisting of a 5 floor commercial podium, a 35 story office
tower and 27 story residential tower will be a landmark in the city district
of Shanghai. Feng Shui and local codes in Shanghai influenced the form and
siting of the two towers such that the building front is actually the back
side of the towers.
The mixture of retail, luxury office function and
the local residential condominium function, presented a design challenge
to the firm. The resulting architectural design is the culmination of all
the differences in the design requirements in good form and function.
