Ascendas Plaza Renovation Mixed Use

Ascendas Plaza Renovation Mixed Use is a significant urban renewal architectural project located in Shanghai's Xuhui District, exemplifying innovative approaches to mixed-use development and sustainable urban transformation. The project encompasses a comprehensive renovation of an existing structure, featuring a 30-story tower complemented by a 5-story commercial podium and a 2-story basement, with a total land area of 7,693 square meters. The design philosophy centers on creating a seamless integration of corporate workplace, co-working space, and retail environments, resulting in a unified architectural language that promotes social interaction and community engagement. The project's distinctive facade employs sophisticated glass curtain wall systems, incorporating exquisite frame elements for the office spaces and transparent glass ribs for the co-working areas, effectively dissolving boundaries between interior spaces and the urban environment. The renovation, completed in 2019, delivers 23,900 square meters of retail space and 35,900 square meters of office area, featuring innovative design elements such as a two-story lobby and strategic vertical setbacks that enhance the building's visual appeal. The project, which earned a Silver A' Design Award in the Architecture, Building and Structure Design category, demonstrates exceptional achievement in architectural innovation through its holistic approach to urban space utilization, incorporating sophisticated material selections including mirror stainless steel elements that reflect the surrounding urban green corridor, thereby enriching the facade's aesthetic detail while promoting environmental connectivity.
