Shenzhen Bay No.1
The project is located on a first-line sea view site adjacent to the inner lake of Shenzhen Bay, and is the first project seen from the Shenzhen Bay Port on the south side. It is a high-end urban complex with office, residential and commercial facilities, and is a landmark complex in the Houhai area. It looks to the future and to add color to this unique and beautiful location in terms of history and topography. The architectural form and richness of the project is designed to create a bridge between the rolling hills and curving natural coastline on one side and the orderly vitality of the Houhai area on the other.
While each of the project's four towers is distinctive in function and massing, there is a unity in design and appearance. The geometric angles of these sections echo the lines of the podium and the project as a whole. The façade design is based on the principle of not blocking the view of the sea, and uses sparse horizontal (vertical) lines as the basic language; high-quality glass curtain walls and metal components are the main materials; and the local variations of the plan volume are matched. It creates a simple, fashionable and layered seaside city building.
All tower spaces are designed to take advantage of the gorgeous view of the base. The angles of the towers also extend into the podium to achieve a concentrated commercial space. A key double-sided commercial volume stimulates the generation of a vibrant commercial environment. The commercial function extends vertically up three levels. With the multi-angle stepped structure of the podium, many of the businesses have excellent views of the water and terraces. The commercial at the southern end of the project has two levels with a large swimming pool on the podium roof. The public can walk around the commercial activity centers on the first and second levels. The sky bridge on the second level is intended to connect the commercial on the south side of the base to the project on the north side and can provide the public with a view to the east
