The SOFITEL Shanghai North Bund project represents a sophisticated blend of historical preservation, modern design, and sustainability. Located in the culturally rich Shajing Port area, the renovation of the former Jiu Long Hotel honors its historical significance while adapting it for contemporary use. The design carefully integrates the building with its surroundings, drawing inspiration from the adjacent 1933 Old Millfun. The façade combines light-colored stone and gray metal to create a seamless transition between the hotel and the historical structure, maintaining a sculptural aesthetic.
