Tencent Seafront Towers

Shenzhen, China, Asia Pacific

Completed · Commercial · Connected Office Twin Towers · Subtropical · 2017

Two 50-storey towers linked at three levels by sky bridges housing restaurants, gyms, and shared amenities, promoting inter-tower pedestrian flow and reducing reliance on vertical circulation. The sky bridges form structural outriggers that reduce lateral drift, combining structural and programmatic functions in one element.

Innovation highlights

• sky bridges function as structural outriggers reducing lateral drift
• programme-integrated structural system eliminating separate bracing
• activity-based sky-bridge floors replace conventional ground-level amenities
• facade shading system tuned to Shenzhen subtropical solar angles
