Check out the latest issue of The Façade Magazine featuring our Harbourfront High-rise Design Submission in South China.

Lead by our Design Partner, Nick Cordingley and Associate Partner, Jason Easter, this competition scheme of a 268m super high-rise tower is to create a visual beacon in the heart of a coastal tourism city within the Greater Bay Area of China. The 11,450sqm waterfront site accommodates a super high-rise tower of office, hotel and serviced apartment sitting on top of a 4-storey podium. 

Inspired by the local ritual of dragon dance to pray for rain and blessings to the land, the spiraling form of the tower resembles a dragon ascending from the sea, thrusting up to the sky.

Softened edges are adopted throughout the development, resonating with the adjacent cultural centre while serving as a celebration of the waterscape beyond.
