About Szhk Science and Technology Project Høyhus kontorbygg

Szhk Science and Technology Project er et høyhus-kontorprosjekt i Shenzhen, Kina. Hovedbygningen på 250 meter minner om den utstrakte formen til det kinesiske parasolltreet, mens handelspodiet er formet som trær og fasaden gjenspeiler parasollblader. Designet danner en 24-timers sirkel av rom for bolig, fritid og arbeid, med et lokalt helsesenter, en trehytte-bokhandel, et spillsenter og et kunstsenter. Naturlig ventilasjon, perforerte aluminiumsfasadepaneler, et grønt podiumstak og solvarmeanlegg for vann på taket reduserer energibruken.

Unique Properties
This development is an important R&D exchange area, and the gateway between Shenzhen and Hongkong. This project is committed to creating a central hub in the Science and Technology Innovation Zone with international exchanges and regional integration. This project is intend to create a 24-hour living circle includes living, leisure and working spaces, combined with some special activity nodes, like community health center, treehouse bookshop, game center and art center.
Dimensions & Packaging
The design is tend to maximize the use of natural ventilation system to minimize use of air conditioning and also enhance outdoor and indoor space comfort, the perforated aluminum board use on the tower’s façade helps the reduction of co2 emission. And use roofing materials with high SRT values to reflect solar radiation to minimize urban heat island effect. The green podium’s roof improves the performance of roof insulation, effectively reduce the heat gain through the roof for the top floor. The energy saving effect is particularly significant in cold climate.
Additionally, in the podium façade, use daylight through glazed façade and skylight to minimize use of artificial lighting, and vertical fins effectively reduce solar heat gain through the façade to reduce cooling load and energy use. In the building roof, the rooftop solar hot water system is installed for apartments to generate hot water for bathroom to reduce electricity or gas use.
Inspiration
The 250m main building recalls the form and extending gesture of the Chinese parasol tree whilst also responding to the urban texture. The metaphor reflects on the concept of hospitality embracing talents around the world, and signaling shared prosperity between this two cities. The retail podium is shaped like trees to create a lively atmosphere, additionally, the façade of the podium is also echoing the leaves of the parasol trees.
