Information

As one of the two finalists in an international competition for designing the 518-meters-tall tower in Fuzhou, China, Shimao Fuzhou Tower aims to become a dramatic centerpiece of a burgeoning new business district within the city. Soaring into the sky at 518 meters in height, with total building area around 437,200 square meters, the Shimao Fuzhou Tower consists of office spaces, service apartment, Conrad Hotel and an observation deck at upper portion of the towering shaft. The design of Shimao Fuzhou Tower explores sensible approaches to supertall building today. In contrast to many form-driven towers, Shimao Fuzhou Tower aims to integrate the architectural concept with structure optimization, whilst creating an iconic and futuristic landmark with remarkable efficiency and contextual sensibility.
