Nansha IFC is located on the Eastern end of Lingshan Island, Nansha District of Guangzhou, China. The mixed-use development is comprised of two office towers and two residential towers. The design objective is to emphasise seaview as a main attraction, and draw in tenants with the supplement of commercial elements.
The outline of the architecture is traced by multiple geometric shapes by way of echoing with its environment. The twin towers, fastened with the sky garden, mimic the sprawling wings of an eagle.
The design takes the ocean waves as blueprint, appropriating the undulating streaks as the building’s facade. Celebrating the expansive view, the curtain wall is composed of slanted glass panels that serve to block out glare and prevent light reflection. The tilted roof structure dips in the center, which symbolises fortune flowing into the development.
