01 International Shopping City

Guanxi _ China Mixed-Use

The project is located in the business district of Guanxi and aims to build up a unique architecture identifier for a recognizable land mark project, where the promising hill top park became an inspiration to create a new public square and cultural space, in order to meet the needs of the general public and leisure activities.

Careful thoughts have been given to the interaction of various function zones in order to put the project’s center location to full use.

It is an urban mixed use project consisting of a city square with 1 Soho tower, 2 residential towers, an urban leisure park (the patriotic hill park), centralized commercial area and open pedestrian sand.

The project connects into the city center, forming an extension of the existing mature commercial street.

The massing preserves the existing streetscape and responds to length and height of existing buildings. This mantains a human scale and promotes a livable and walkable city.

The high rise buildings are set back from the edge of the main street; This lightens their effect on strategic view on the city.
