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 exterior architectural photograph of a high-density residential high-rise cluster by MLA+ in Shenzhen, demonstrating disciplined grid facades and stepped tower massing.

What we like about this project
The central tower features an illuminated crown element that unifies the complex skyline.

Geometry
An assembly of tall, slender tower blocks with orthogonal grids and stepped heights, framing urban open space at the base.
Facade system
Unitized window wall with recessed balconies and expressed floor slabs forming a grid.
Structural guess
Reinforced concrete core and flat plate structural framing.
Spatial scale
Large-scale urban development featuring multiple high-rise residential towers over a multi-story podium.
Lighting
Early morning or late afternoon golden daylight illuminates the upper tower facades while lower levels rest in cool shade.
Atmosphere
Orderly, dense metropolitan environment softened by morning light and ground-level landscaping.
Environmental context
Dense urban high-rise development with surrounding roads, street trees, and neighboring commercial structures.
Spatial experience
From the street level, the dense cluster of high-rises creates a canyon-like urban enclosure tempered by low-rise podium retail and green courtyards.
Composition rhythm
Repetitive window and balcony modules create a dense vertical screen across each tower elevation.
