Text description provided by the architects. The VC&PE Tower, by Studio Georges Hung-HK ( formerly AtelierBlur –HK ) for the concept design stage and Huazhu Architectural & Engineering Design Company Ltd-Shenzhen for statutory submissions and technical stages, creates a new perspective on the city of Shenzhen. It forms the most visually distinctive landmark tower within the Nanshan district, a newly developing entrepreneurial zone. It acknowledges the city’s past, its cultural heritage, while projecting its future. It defines a gateway between the past and present, between Binhai Road, one of the major east-west artery linking Shenzhen and its western corridors, and the newly planned road, Keyuan road. Standing at standing at 190 meters high, the VC-PE tower is situated within the overall master plan forming a clear and coordinated office park district dedicated to supporting start-ups and creative ventures. A covered arcaded outdoor space facilitates pedestrian traffic flow and creates a primary entry into each plot. This common feature is the element that ties all the commercial towers within this development into a coherent and specific urban context.
