About Shenzhen Transsion Holdings Office

Shenzhen Transsion Holdings is an office and retail complex located in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China. The development covers 54,970 square meters and includes a 150 meter high tower and a retail podium. A cloud hub concept interrupts the vertical facade with inserted boxes that hold three shared areas, a public hub at podium level, a leisure hub in the middle and a business hub at the top. Viewing stairs, two entry plazas and terraces form a three-dimensional public space. Green terraces blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor areas.

Production Technology
The podium "Public Hub" integrated public serving function. A vertical circulation was formed by the viewing stairs at the inside of facade. Two entry plaza, the public transportation platform, and terraces on each floors were linked together as a 3-dimentional public space. In terms of urban space forming, this 3-D space not only linked the building function in different floors, but also promoted the infiltration between urban interface and the building.
Design Challenge
The concept of a “cloud hub” created a technological and futuristic building form that celebrates spirit of openness, cooperation and sharing. Three shared functional hubs include a public hub at podium level, a leisure hub in the middle and a business hub on top. Featured boxes are inserted into the building at different levels. Each box interlocks and juxtaposes to create sheer contrasts of varied scales and between the open and exclusive expressions.
Research
We take harmony, ecology, publicity, and interaction as our design concept, create green spaces three-dimensionally to blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor areas. By doing this enable to create a lot more common spaces and encourage interaction and communication throughout the tower.
Inspiration
In this project, concept of ‘cloud hub’ is introduced to break through the traditional approach of verticality on tower facade, to establish image of high-tech and futuristic to the public with its “openness” of building form. These intermediate open spaces create variety and interactions between the staff and offices, to demonstrate the corporate spirit of “co- operation and co-sharing” with this symbolic architecture.
Project Duration
The Project sits in a prime area on Nanshan District. The project started in September 2019 and expected to be completed in December 2021.
Operation Flow
The podium "Public Hub" provides the users more opportunities to explore the functions of outdoor open space. They may easily communicate with surrounding users and flexibly integrate between office and retail. The tower creating 3-dimensional green spaces blurring the boundary of indoor and outdoor. Meanwhile, more horizontal communication and sharing spaces are generated in the "Cloud Hub" of this tower.
