03 Street, Unit 19, Qianhai, Shenzhen

Plot 03 of Unit 19 in Qianhai, Shenzhen, occupies the core of the Mawan area, bounded by Mawan 2nd Road, Yihai Avenue, Gangcheng 6th Street, and Gangcheng 19th Street, directly adjacent to Yihai Station on the extended Metro Line 5 and linked to the planned Qiannan intercity railway. It is the first business-district plot in Shenzhen to be comprehensively coordinated by the municipal government with active participation of multiple landowners, and SED New Eco-Landscape was appointed as the overall landscape coordinator, gathering valuable experience for Qianhai's co-developed model. The plot is planned as a modern-style commercial and office neighbourhood, with supporting services, centred on supply-chain management, international trade, and internet finance; the whole-block development approach aims to use land intensively and maximize its economic value. SED coordinated landscape design across four office towers, the Qianhai Holdings Building, Xinlikang Building, Gionee Building, and SF Express Building, following the upper-level plan's intent to create a multi-layered, playful, all-day urban vitality space. The organizing concept is cloud living, a shared platform that links vertical and horizontal greenery through sky corridors that step down into gardens, then into municipal green space and the No. 2 municipal canal. Climate-appropriate flowering plants line the corridors and rain gardens, adding warmth, colour, and texture. The strategy is expressed in four paired themes: integrity and connection, penetration and sharing, energy conservation and ecology. Landscape displays and office frontages are coordinated, circulation linked and interwoven to convey an efficient, professional workplace; the sunken plaza of the Qianhai Free Trade Tower, for example, uses a dry-garden logic to offer a quiet, secure refuge from the dense urban office environment. Sky corridors wind between buildings, providing sheltered pedestrian connections and relaxation space. The green strategy creates a micro-climate to mitigate the heat-island effect of dense construction, with eco-banks, water-recycling, and low-carbon operations supporting a cloud-garden city. While responding to the overall identity, each corporate tower is given a personalized landscape, balancing innovation, technology, ecology, and recyclable materials.
