Premised on the Chinese idiom “flowers blooming with wealth”, which is unmistakably reflected in the architectural outline: the coiling volume echoes the Shenzhen flower bougainvillea. Given the bifurcated plot, the apartments and community supporting functions are situated on the west side, while retail, office and five-star hotels are perched on the east side.
Genzon Technology Innovation Center in Shenzhen’s Nanshan District encompasses offices that promote a new mode of working, luxury hotel facilities and a bracing shopping experience. The project will be an important node on the “Silicon Valley Avenue” connecting key areas of Shenzhen’s high-tech industries.
The diverse functions in the east are distributed among four towers. While meeting the requirements for building height, the cross-shaped layout maximises view and provides sufficient public space. Apart from the circular podium, the four towers are as well seamlessly connected by a circular aerial bridge, which houses interactive spaces including an open-air restaurant and infinity swimming pool. The bold building form establishes itself as an iconic city landmark as well as a vitality centre in the innovation hub of Shenzhen.
