Over the years, we have been very fortunate to contribute to the progressive change of Zhuhai. These include the 320m tall super high-rise Shizimen Tower in which St. Regis hotel is scheduled for opening on 30th June 2017; one of the world’s largest shopping malls, the 510,000 sqm Summer International Retail Centre, and the award winning Shizimen Infinity Loop Bridge.”  Image Courtesy © 10 DESIGN  Image Courtesy © 10 DESIGN Ted Givens, Design Partner with 10, adds “The design is a fusion of iconic architecture and functional efficiency. The buildings are designed to house and incubate small start-up companies and future-proof planning allows for rapid expansion as needed. Civic rooms and gardens are placed around the site to build community and foster a culture of innovation and interaction.”  Image Courtesy © 10 DESIGN  Image Courtesy © 10 Design About the Design The headquarters are designed as two pairs of split volumes of different heights and orientation, greatly maximising views to the ocean and naturally weaving open areas and public spaces throughout the development. The split volumes are connected by extended communal areas, providing extra rooftop garden and podium spaces.

Covered dining areas activate spaces adjacent to the main plazas, which local residents can continue to enjoy during the weekends.  Image Courtesy © 10 DESIGN Potential tenants have a wide spectrum of unit sizes to choose from, ranging from the smallest 30 sqm unit up to the entire pair of towers, which is made easily accessible by the design of the connecting floors. This organisational strategy allows for the most flexible long term planning and serves tenants and owners starting from small start-ups to large corporations. All units have either a garden or ocean view, while those that do not directly face the ocean have access to open balconies and roof gardens that face the ocean.
