Led by Aedas Executive Director Kelvin Hu, the Shenzhen Chuanbu Street Shanty Town Office Tower is designed to mirror the vibrancy of Hong Kong across the Buji River. The lighthouse-style office tower is located in the urban renewal area and integrates with nearby water resources, creating an oasis and establishing itself a distinctive landmark.
The tower integrates commercial, hotel, and office spaces in a tiered layout, transitioning from public to private zones to meet diverse user needs. Its west side features cascading green terraces, extending towards Buji River. Sunlight penetrates through the stepped design, illuminating lower office spaces and creating a seamless dialogue between architecture and waterfront, transforming the tower into a dynamic urban community.
In response to diverse functional needs, the tower’s southern side features an elevated, multi-layered greenery, creating a vertically interwoven waterfront oasis. It forms an ecological buffer with the private residential zone within the same plot. This design provides workers and visitors with a tranquil social space for relaxation and interaction, infusing a sense of warmth and humanity into the office environment.
