This twin-towered mixed-use development is the symbol of Shenzhen, China’s international commercial powerhouse. We collaborated with local landscape architects Austin LTD to reimagine the retail mall at the base of the complex. The redesign focuses on opening views of the 5 shopping levels to the street, offering people on the sidewalk a glimpse of the lively activity inside. New links to adjoining blocks, overhead and underground, create an almost seamless connection among shopping venues in the district.
