Poly Zhuhai, a large mixed-use development, is located at the central axis of Hengqin Island, a transformed landfill site near Macao. The site is south of the small Hengqin Mountain, facing a civic sports park on the other side.
The main office tower has a large, square footprint, elevated six to seven meters above the street level, with retail programs and two sunken plazas on the ground level along B1 parking access. The design’s essence is a sense of hills rolling down to re-engage with the city, scaling the large tower to its context with organic landform “fingers” stretching out from the mountain. To disguise the main plaza’s multiple utility vents, similar landforms serve large green roof pavilions that also provide much-needed shelter as well as extra retail spaces to invigorate the large plaza.
A wide, porous land bridge connects to the mountain park over a major arterial road. The park-like plaza is filled with diverse spaces and programs awaiting exploration.
