The Design
About Gaofuli Jengo Refu la Ghorofa Nyingi
Gaofuli ni jengo refu la matumizi mchanganyiko lililopo Shanghai, China. Jengo hili limesimama karibu na maeneo ya uhifadhi wa urithi na eneo la kijani la Yanzhong Greenland, likiwa na mwonekano wa moja kwa moja upande wa mashariki unaoelekea alama maarufu ya katikati ya jiji. Usanifu wake umechochewa na usanifu wa jadi wa Shikumen kupitia miundo ya wima, mistari ya pembe nyingi, na kona zilizolainishwa kwa maumbo yaliyokatwa pembeni na kupunguzwa taratibu. Uso wa nje wa jengo unachanganya metali zenye rangi ya shaba na paneli za rangi ya joto zinazofanana na kauri. Pande za mashariki na kusini huingiza mwanga wa asili na mandhari, huku sakafu ya chini iliyoinuliwa kwa sehemu ikiweka mlango wa kuingilia na eneo la kushusha abiria upande wa kaskazini.

- In terms of materials and construction, traditional Shikumen architecture is characterized by the use of red and gray bricks, complemented by yellow sand and cement. The stone detailing on the door headers adds to the warm and textured facade. In the modern interpretation, the building facade retains this material tradition by incorporating copper-toned metals and warm, ceramic-like panels, creating a contemporary yet timeless aesthetic.
- Design Challenge

The ultra-high-rise plot is strategically situated near heritage conservation districts and Yanzhong Greenland, with a visual connection to a prominent city center landmark to the east. Taking these contextual advantages into account, the design concept focuses on seamlessly blending local culture, natural landscapes, and the vibrancy of contemporary urban life.
- Research
- The site's constraints influence the building's unconventional layout; however, the design team effectively utilizes the east and south sides of the plot to incorporate natural views and maximize sunlight for the development. The ground floor is partially elevated, positioning the entrance and drop-off area on the north side to create a cohesive street frontage that complies with safety and evacuation standards.
