Tianjin is one of China’s major industrial cities. In emulation of Shanghai, it has been developing an entirely new central business district adjacent to the port, divided into an international zone and one dedicated to Chinese businesses. This mixed use project occupies a block in the new domestic business district, and includes a thirty six story office building, two levels of luxury retail at the base, arrayed along an internal shopping passage, and a mid rise residential building with loft style units. In a situation where every block is occupied by a strenuously articulated building attempting to attract attention, this project adopts a strategy of dramatic simplicity that accommodates market tested plans for maximum return.
