Shenzhen Tower

Located in Shenzhen, China, this tower marks the gateway to the eastern expansion of the city. Rising to 642 meters, Shenzhen Tower serves as a technical and progressive expression to the emerging region. The full development includes commercial, civic, office, hotel and residential program.

Elegant, bold and strong, the tower stands as an icon within its context, evoking an interaction between people and nature. The form of the tower transforms in response to the building program, giving the tower its unique profile. As the building rises, the form gently steps back to offer areas of rainwater capture along the full façade of the building. The projected rainwater capture will replace the building’s annual estimated water usage.
