Shajing Wanfeng Urban Revitalization and Coastal Mall Shenzhen, China

This is an urban revitalization project that covers approximately 590 hectares of land. The project aims to cultivate “Happiness and Co-prosperity in a Low Carbon, Human-centric Community.” Although located in a remote area, the site’s position between the city center and an upcoming Airport Hub offers a chance to create a gateway. Challenges include deserted factories, scattered natural resources, and a neglected drainage ditch causing issues.

Coastal City Renovation Shenzhen, China

The coastal area’s captivating natural beauty, with its soft sands, vibrant waters, and mesmerizing light, serves as the backdrop for Nanshan, a city seamlessly blending nature, history, and commerce. Nanshan’s identity is further shaped by housing the Shenzhen High-Tech Industrial Park and esteemed international companies, reflecting a strong entrepreneurial spirit. The Coastal Group, deeply connected to Nanshan, envisions revitalizing the Coastal City Shopping Center with a humanistic, ecoconscious, and culturally sensitive approach. Guided by coastal living, history, and surroundings, the design transformation seeks to embody a genuine “Coastal City,” radiating simplicity and tranquility while symbolizing hope and energy through vibrant lighting. Coastal textures and hues, echoing waves, sands, and lighthouses, are woven into the design, blending nature and human creativity. The project replaces existing tiles with lightweight, high-pressure compact panels for a clean look.

MixC in Taiyuan Taiyuan, China

The original site allocation included office, hotel, residential, and retail spaces, totaling 1.2 million SM. The project’s design aimed to establish a visual link between the Fen River and the West Mountain, necessitating the connection of an elevated park hosting civic buildings to the community and the government office complex towards the West. Despite the challenge of government land involvement, the proposal successfully realized this concept. The central parcel features a seven-story shopping mall with two basement levels. The symbolic central access that connects Fen River to West Mountain is maintained.

The unique challenge was harmonizing a civic-building aesthetic within a retail setting. This was achieved by aligning exterior massing with the interior racetrack circulation, creating a dynamic 360-degree movement. The civic-building complex is connected to the retail mall by bridges that span across the street and bringing foot traffic in via different levels. The top floors are terraced back with views towards Fen River and the city beyond. Notable project highlights include the grand canopy and a central shifting atrium. Terraces under the canopy emphasize the east-west axis, humanizing the scale, and the glass canopy becomes an iconic element with creative lighting.

CATIC City (9 Square Mall and AVIC Center) Shenzhen, China

The primary challenge of this project lies in the absence of frontage facing main roads, with the development divided into four parcels separated by urban roads. To overcome this, the design team devised a solution by connecting all parcels with bridges and decks, transforming the project into an “urban oasis.” Influenced by the parent company’s aero industry expertise, the architecture embodies motion and speed. Fluid contours and horizontal patterns on the retail portion emulate motion and speed, respectively. The office tower stands as a symbol of power, with vertical fins resembling jet trails, highlighting its dynamic and iconic elements. The tower’s efficient, flexible office layout features a grand and slender design, accentuated by computerized LED panels.

Cyberport/Bel-Air Rise Hong Kong, China

In partnership with Arquitectonica and Jerde Partnership International Inc., Cyberport emerges as a low-density R&D business campus spread over 24 hectares of reclaimed land in Telegraph Bay, Hong Kong. The government initiated this project to attract global IT-focused tenants, incorporating Grade A offices, specialized IT infrastructure, the Le Meridian Hotel, exhibition spaces, retail zones, a cinema, and dining amenities. WT, collaborating with Arquitectonica and Jerde, supervised the project from its master planning phase to its ultimate realization. The spherical design of the Cyber Mall (“The Arcade”) showcases flowing curves, supported by inclined columns and ETFE fabric roofing. Despite utilizing construction technology similar to the Millennium Dome, constructing the mall was notably challenging due to its distinctive design. During the rezoning phase, the team closely collaborated with the Land Department, taking into account ocean views for the local residents and conserving the mountain ridge beyond, resulting in zoning height restrictions and mandatory view corridors. This prominent development stands out as one of Hong Kong’s most renowned projects.

In collaboration with Brennan Beer Gorman/Architects Ltd. as the retail design consultant, this TOD project features five residential towers, with three middle towers having 45 stories and the end towers comprising 44 stories. The units range from 60m² to 70m², totaling 1,684 units. The site planning strategically mitigates traffic noise by setting the residential towers back from Lung Cheung Road, aligned with the northern boundary. The commercial podium includes three main commercial floors for retail, dining, and a cinema. Below, a public transport terminus with an MTR (metro) entrance is located on the ground floor, with two basement levels serving as parking and loading areas. The commercial podium’s external façade will showcase granite cladding for prestige, while the interior will embrace a ‘Hollywood’ theme for added appeal.
