China Resources Tower

The China Resources Headquarters tower anchors the burgeoning Houhai District with a design distinguished by its innovative structure and geometric purity, relaying a cultural message about the company’s history and growth.

Inspired by the winter bamboo shoot, the 400-meter tower features a light, stable, and fast-to-erect tube and diagrid system that is expressed in its tapered, sculptural form. Rendered in pre-fabricated column and steel units, the system affords column-free interiors, in turn allowing greater expression of the tower’s radial symmetry and more boutique floorplates as it rises. The 56 vertical columns converge into 28 columns at the lower and upper sections of the tower, forming a series of entry portals at the tower’s base and merging to a singular point at its peak. At these junctures, faceted, triangular glass panels illuminate at night with a jewel-like brilliance across Shenzhen’s waterfront business district.

Shenzhen China Resources Headquarters Tower

In a city with 6 of the world’s 56 skyscrapers over 350m, Shenzhen takes the next step after building tall; building with a narrative. The city’s 3rd tallest building – China Resources Headquarters Tower – invigorates the typical skyline using the form of a Spring Bamboo, a traditional Chinese synonym for life and vitality.

Shenzhen is a thriving metropolis, with three-quarters of its 12.5 million population from other regions of China. Much of the influx is concentrated in Shenzhen Bay, which is planned as a new CBD to attract the establishment of offices and headquarters from Chinese and international corporations. With newcomers from other Chinese provinces, Shenzhen Bay realized the need for unifying its populace with a common identity, one method of which is to gradually change its skyline from typical western to inspired eastern. A forerunner in this change is the major state-owned developer China Resources, which designed its 400m headquarters tower to resemble a narrow-topped Spring Bamboo, a renowned and traditional synonym for life and vitality.
