A cooperation zone for innovation in science and technology is currently being established between Shenzhen and Hong Kong with a total of 16 new buildings. schneider+schumacher’s competition-winning design for “Shenfang Park”, a national center for research and development, will be one of the first buildings on site. The competition brief called for a seminal design that would set the benchmark for all future development. The foundation stone for this major project has just been laid, marking the official start of construction work.

Located next to the river, this building complex designed by schneider+schumacher rises gradually from the embankment, forming a 120-metre-high office tower. The holistic design approach is representative of a new generation of research buildings that provide laboratories and offices, as well as exhibition areas, conference rooms, and leisure facilities where scientists can meet each other in informal surroundings. A green landscaped courtyard will be created between two rows of glazed structures, each stacked higher and higher. Roof terraces on each level are a distinctive feature – offering views over the wetlands of Hong Kong on the far riverbank.

A year ago, the Justice Center was the first building designed by schneider+schumacher to be completed in Shenzhen. Since then, the office has won two more competitions in the southern Chinese metropolis, both currently being planned: the 120-metre high Qianhai Information Building data center and the 180-metre high Zhaolian company headquarters. Shenfang Park research and development center is the fourth schneider+schumacher scheme to be built there.

To oversee work on the schemes in Shenzhen, schneider+schumacher has established an office there. This enables the team to coordinate the three ongoing projects on site, and to remain in contact with the branch office in Tianjin.
