Located next to Honghu Park in Shenzhen’s Luohu District, the Sungang National Rail Depot project is set to redefine the future lifestyle of the area. In collaboration with Nikken Sekkei Ltd and CAPOL International & Associates Group, this project aims to connect the ecological corridor of Honghu Park and revitalise northern Luohu, while exploring a new model for high-density urban renewal that combines transport, ecology and culture.
Inspired by the site’s proximity to Honghu Park and its long, narrow shape, the team developed the ‘Lake Oasis’ design concept. This integrates local ecological water flows into the site, creating a north-south corridor that connects key functions like education, public culture, social spaces and hotels, forming a vibrant urban oasis.
The design includes open areas that blend seamlessly with Honghu Park, allowing people to enjoy nature and commercial activities simultaneously. It will feature plazas, green pathways, and viewing platforms, forming a vibrant community that connects recreational and cultural spaces. A pedestrian walkway system will provide easy access to key destinations such as Honghu Park, the Buji River, and the Yunxun heritage site. The Grand Event Plaza will host large events and showcase urban culture, becoming a cultural and commercial landmark in Luohu.
