As a headquarter of a technology company, the office building of vivo Shenzhen should be a perfect combination of function and form. The design hopes to create a public open hall merged with the city, showing the social responsibility and the open temperament of the company. Meanwhile, technology and nature are integrated into the shared space, making the office space more efficient and more humanized. What’s more, the office space will be integrated with campus temperament, promoting mutual learning and communication of different cultural backgrounds and departments. Various supporting facilities can satisfy the need for daily life and recreational and sports activities, and working becomes another way to demonstrate lifestyles.
The site of the project is located in the green ring of Bao’an District, Shenzhen and it’s at the intersection of the axis of urban planning images, so the image display is very prominent. The northeast of the site is the main commercial axis, which brings the continuous commercial interface to the site.

Next to the east and west side are the two main roads, Yu’an Yi Road and Haixiu Road, and they are two-way eight-lane roads. In the south, there will be two-lane roads and coastal apartments which are in planning, and there is also good view and sight. In addition, the plot ratio is 12, the height limit is 150m, and the coverage is 55%. These make the building volume huge. Strict height to width ratio limit and how to merge the building with the city environment are the main difficulties of the design.

In order to integrate the building with the urban space, the main vehicle entrance and exit are set on two main roads, and the building volume is adjacent to the two roads, making the building’s image shown to the city. At the same time, on the side facing the seaside, the block is extended, broadening the landscape side as much as possible.

The east and west sides are setbacks and dislocations which can relieve the pressure brought by the huge volume, forming the relationship of space infiltration and creating an entrance of office in the west.
The club on the top and the supporting programs on the ground floor form a continuous system of space by connecting public shared spaces, which can increase the overall sense of the building. The shared spaces are face to the seashore park thus the scenic view is fantastic.
The shared spaces echoes the overall shape through dislocation, increasing the interest of the space, making the shared space integrate with the shape and infiltrating the building to the urban green space in the south.

功能方面，底层由低到高依次为商业、公共会客及办公配套，上部均为办公，穿插少量餐饮、会议、会所功能。
In terms of programs, bottom layers from low to high are business, shared reception room and supporting of office. The top layers are offices interspersed with catering, conference and club programs.

The shared spaces on the top are located in the highest area of the building where the scenic views are the best. The setbacks of the two blocks form a four-floor-height space, creating a shared space that is different from the bottom office area and responding to the surrounding place more.
The core tube is eccentric to the north, which brings a deep open office space to the south, maximizing the utilization of the landscape interface. Shared space including a tea room and a lounge is implanted in it, and it’s merged with the open office space, adding the interest of the space. The meeting room area is in the north of the plan.

The programs of the first-floor lobby mainly include supporting commerce, hall and a vivo flagship store. The lobby is an open public urban space that can be crossed, linking the urban roads in the east and west and the parkin the south. The bright and transparent lobby interface integrates the city park with the interior space.
Two different sizes of landscaped courtyards are placed in the center area of the top-floor club, merging with the interior space of the club and the courtyards provide landscape space of introverted sky garden. A cross-shaped internal aisle is set combined with the courtyards and the design uses the courtyards for setting shared space, private rooms of the catering and a red wine bar.
