“ The sky gardens balconies in the office towers across two floors providing a comfortable outdoor seating area with spectacular views over the adjacent park. CLOU ARCHITECTS TRIANGULAR FLOORS DESIGN STRATEGIES Shoukai Vanke Centre is a 132,000 sqm mixed-use development which is composed of a 26,000 sqm shopping mall, a 124-metretall office tower as well as a hotel. The office tower has a triangular shape which creates a strong presence at the main intersection yet appears elegant and slim from other points. The triangular shape is the result of a series of pragmatic decisions which include maximising views towards the newly built park and integrating double height sky-garden balconies into the tips of the floorplates. Their terraces provide comfortable outdoor seating areas with spectacular views over the adjacent park. PAGE 41 - ARCHETECH
