吕元祥建筑师事务所 Ronald Lu & Partners

Practicing across Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, Ronald Lu & Partners shapes high-density commercial and transit-oriented developments defined by subterranean green valleys, elevated park decks bridging active rail corridors, and fluid tower profiles with tapered, fluted facades. This portfolio provides a concrete reference when negotiating multi-level urban landscapes over live infrastructure or specifying pleated, reflective facade systems that soften large commercial volumes at street level.

Aerial twilight rendering of the curved Tencent tower and landscaped podium by Ronald Lu & Partners in an urban waterfront context.

02上海-腾讯华东总部大厦

上海 / 深圳 / 广州

An aerial architectural rendering of a corporate headquarters tower featuring curved glazing and a landscaped podium, useful for high-rise urban infill studies.

What we like about this project
The contrasting geometries of the curved glazed nose and the flat planar back facade create a dual reading from aerial views.

Geometry
Slender high-rise featuring a curved glass facade on one side and a sheer vertical plane with corporate branding on the other, anchored by a multi-level terraced podium.
Facade system
Unitized curved glass curtain wall paired with a vertical metal panel and vision glass system.
Structural guess
Steel and concrete composite core with perimeter framing.
Spatial scale
Skyscraper scale dominating the surrounding mid-rise blocks and waterfront.
Lighting
Twilight sky with purple and orange hues; interior lighting glows through the curved glass curtain wall and podium glazing.
Atmosphere
Twilight luminosity uniting the dense urban fabric with warm interior glows and soft landscape lighting.
Environmental context
Dense urban commercial district adjacent to a wide river and highway infrastructure.
Spatial experience
The composition guides the viewer from the vast urban waterfront down to the activated pedestrian plaza and green roof podium at the tower's base.
Composition rhythm
Vertical mullions on the curved curtain wall contrast with horizontal landscaped tiers on the podium roof.
