Project: Energy Mansion in Shenzhen
Architect: BIG
Location: China-Shenzhen
Client: Shenzhen Energy Company
Size: 96,000 sq.m.
Project leader: Andreas Klok Pedersen

We propose to enhance the sustainable performance of the building drastically by only focusing on its envelope, the façade.

We propose to make the Shenzhen Energy Mansion the first specimen of a new species of office buildings that exploit the buildings interface with the external elements - sun, daylight, air humidity, wind – as a source to create a maximum comfort and quality inside.

The Shenzhen Energy Mansion will appear as a subtle mutation of the classic skyscraper – a natural evolution rather than a desperate revolution.
