LEO A DALY Designs Super High-Rise Towers in ShenzhenThe Washington, D.C. office of international architecture, planning, engineering and interior design firm LEO A DALY is serving as design architect for four soaring towers and an expansive retail podium that comprise the Excellence Huanggang Century Center in Shenzhen, China.
When complete, the large-scale mixed-use project will total approximately 4.5 million square feet.
Groundbreaking is expected to occur in late 2007.
LEO A DALY designers created striking, faceted exteriors for the project's four high-rise buildings.
Reaching to 60 and 57 stories respectively, the tallest two towers will feature glass curtain walls, chamfered corners and large-scale diamond-shaped facades that extend and recede from the typical floorplate.
With their jewel-like skins, the towers will create a singular, harmonious identity for the project within Shenzhen.
The tallest tower, at approximately 920 feet tall (280 meters) with 60 stories, will be dedicated exclusively to office space.
The second tower will be 850 feet (260 meters) tall with 57 stories and will consist of a mix of office, hotel and service apartment space and will feature a top-floor restaurant.
The project's podium, which anchors the four towers, will be enveloped in glass and feature a mix of retail, restaurant and entertainment areas.
