Shenzen Hongkong Innovation and Technology Center / Shenfang Park and Zhaolian Headquaters| Shenzen China

Update

Since 2018 (Zhaolian) and 2019 (Shenfang Park) these two projects are in planning in the Chinese city of Shenzhen. GTL is responsible for the service phases 2,3 and 5 for the open spaces of these international projects. The buildings were designed by the architectural firm schneider+schumacher, which has offices in Frankfurt, Vienna, Tianjin and Shenzhen.

The holistic design approach of Shenfang Park represents a new generation of a research building. Located directly on the river, the building complex rises gradually. Roof terraces on each level are a distinctive feature.

The 180-meter-high Zhaolian office tower has a clear facade on the outside. Dynamics and communication are the central elements of the interior design. © GTL
