TIME IMPRINTS
Longgang Vanke Plaza is the centerpiece of a large mixed-use development in Shenzhen’s fast growing Longgang district. The four-level galleria is appointed with upscale retail and entertainment venues and custom designed nodes suspended from a sinuous skylight. The exterior façade depicts an undulating ribbon and alludes to the concept of “time imprints” incorporating LED screens and metallic textures and patterns. A 150m Class A office tower terminates the eastern edge of the city blocks while three residential towers to the north open up to an extensive roof garden and club integrated with the mall skylights.
