Located in the Linkong Economic Park within the Hongqiao Business Zone, and served by its transportation hub with subway, rail, and close to Shanghai city centre and the airport, Sky Soho connects multinational, national and local enterprises with local residents.
The concept for the new mixed-use building is the underlying simplicity four parallel slabs. This design provides the convenience and flexibility of a simple modular system based on a 8.4 meter grid and a building depth of approximately 18 meters. The envelope is defined by four main components: four elongated elements tied together by a sinuous retail podium and continuous metallic ribbon that connects them, and a green roof, like calligraphy.
These four primary elements are ‘squeezed’ together in their centre to configure intimate courtyards framed by connecting bridges that create a wholly integrated spatial experience with dynamic interior and exterior public spaces.

Adjacent to the West Kowloon Cultural District, the 3.2 million sq. ft. development above Hong Kong’s High Speed Rail West Kowloon Terminus connects established and emerging neighbourhoods with a network of public gardens and landscaped plazas.
Demarcating the centre of Xi’an’s business district, Daxia Tower’s gently curving silhouette is accentuated by layers of patterned glazing and dramatic atriums that bring natural light deep into its floorplates. Creating a cascade of planted interior terraces that echo mountainside waterfalls, each atrium gives panoramic views over the historic city and the growing high-tech zone.
Integrated within the Vilnius City Plan and the popular public square adjacent to the site, Business Stadium Central will be a new gathering place for the city.

Our Central Building for BMW constituted a radical reinterpretation of the traditional office – transforming the building and the functions it contains into a more dynamic, engaging ‘nerve-centre’ or ‘communication knot’ – funneling all movement around the manufacturing complex through a space that transcends conventional white collar/blue collar spatial divisions.

Located in Wangjing’s centre, Wangjing Soho is a mixed-use development consisting of three towers 118, 127, 200 metres in height designed as three interweaving ‘mountains’ that fuse building and landscape to bring together the surrounding community with a new 60,000m² public park. The design responds to the flows of the city and allows natural daylight into each building from all directions.
