MLA+亩加

Based in Shenzhen, MLA+亩加 designs coastal districts and large-scale urban master plans characterized by continuous terraced green roofs, sweeping elevated bridge structures, and floating curved volumes that blur the boundaries between architecture and landscape. This work provides a strong reference when detailing multi-tiered vegetated podiums, integrating civic leisure amenities within active infrastructure, or configuring expansive semi-outdoor public shelters for complex mixed-use environments.

An aerial master plan precedent demonstrating the integration of high-density tower clusters with continuous forest landscape and elevated infrastructure.

What we like about this project
Green roofs extend uninterrupted across multiple terraced podium structures, blurring building and landscape boundaries.

Geometry
A high-density cluster of rectangular towers connected by green podiums and set amidst sprawling forest and highway infrastructure.
Facade system
Uniform grid-paneled curtain walls across multiple tower blocks.
Structural guess
Steel and concrete composite frames for high-rise towers.
Spatial scale
Macro scale capturing regional transit corridors, district-wide master planning, and cluster high-rises.
Lighting
Soft, diffuse daylight casting gentle shadows across the towers and surrounding tree canopy.
Atmosphere
Serene yet intensely networked, balancing heavy transport infrastructure with deep greenery.
Environmental context
Extensive forested terrain surrounding elevated highway interchanges and dense urban housing clusters.
Spatial experience
The composition scales down from massive highway loops and tall cluster blocks to intimate landscaped roof gardens and pedestrian pods.
Composition rhythm
Vertical tower heights step down toward the forested perimeter, anchored by centralized green podiums.
