Located at the southern edge of the old city walls in Huangpu District, Shanghai, the project balances functionality and symbolism, ensuring that it becomes a distinctive cultural landmark in the heart of Huangpu while accommodating diverse usage scenarios. The relatively compact site leads to the development of a freely upward architectural style. Volumes taper as it rises, with a stepped terrace design that creates accessible terraces and sky gardens on each level. The expressive curves and enveloping materials imbue the building with a sense of vitality and creativity.
