"Ole Scheeren's design comprises four towers distributed across four urban plots, spanning more than 2.5 million square feet (approximately 230,000 square meters). Each tower is planned for a distinct function, ranging from office spaces and co-living apartments to hotel rooms for short-term guests and serviced suites for long-term residents. Together, the towers form a multigenerational campus designed for continuous use, linked by a network of elevated walkways and directly connected to the Shenzhen Metro system through integrated exits and retail-lined basement access."
"The towers feature curvilinear forms with staggered, interlocking volumes. The design incorporates roof terraces and outdoor gathering spaces with panoramic views of the city and the South China Sea. The interconnected walkways function as a shaded promenade of elevated bridges, forming a ring that frames what the designers describe as a central oasis. This oasis concept includes a layered circulation system, with a ground level and three elevated levels creating a connective band around a central park."
The Houhai Hybrid Campus sits in Shenzhen's original Special Economic Zone, bridging the commercial center and bayfront and coinciding with the city's 45th SEZ anniversary. The under-construction complex spans more than 2.5 million square feet across four urban plots and comprises four towers, each programmed for offices, co-living apartments, hotel rooms, or serviced suites. The multigenerational campus is connected by elevated walkways, integrated Shenzhen Metro exits, and retail-lined basement access. Curvilinear, staggered tower forms include roof terraces and outdoor gathering spaces. A layered circulation system of ground plus three elevated levels frames a central park oasis. The campus is scheduled to open in late 2026.
