Shanghai Sky Soho is a new step toward the future of architecture.
From Zaha Hasid’s brilliant imagination was born an architectural project where sustainability, modernism and research have been melded in a surprising building.
Shanghai Sky Soho is a large development comprised of a compelling mix of office and retail space with a gross floor area of approximately 350,000 square meters; and it is situated near Shanghai Hongqiao transport hub.
Shanghai Sky Soho consists of twelve buildings connected by sixteen bridges into a network of spaces. When viewed from certain angles, these structures, stacked up to forty meters above the sunken garden below, resemble the smooth, towering walls of natural canyons.
The construction covers 80,000-m2 plot of land; it is 480 meters in length by 250 meters in width. It is amazing to walk or bike through a sunken garden. The building gives a dualistic experience characterized by natural and futuristic surroundings.
The 7,000 m2 sunken garden offers a blended mix of retail and public spaces. Following Feng Shui rules, every entrance has a big play fountain where water brings luck and success and evokes the vitality of the building.
