CLC & MSFL Towers
Two of China's major financial institutions—CLC and MSFL—chose to consolidate their new headquarters on a single site within Shenzhen's CDB. Although the planning regulations permit tall buildings on the site, the maximum allowable building area and the proposed combination of offices and retail seemingly dictate a perfunctory tower-and-plinth scheme. This solution would neither meet the clients' ambitions of embodying elegance and innovation, nor enliven the existing CDB.Instead, CLC's and MSFL's offices are organized into two highly efficient blocks with: an ideal 9 meter distance between core and façade; an entirely flexible, column-free plan; the largest floor area allowed by code and urban design requirements; and an efficiency ratio of 80%.The ideal office blocks are raised to the planning regulation's height limit to maximize their property value, views, daylight, and iconographic potential.On the given site, a typical podium would compress retail and collective programs into an undifferentiated mass that would reduce property value, limit daylight, and eliminate most public space. To avoid this condition, the retail and collective programs are amassed into two billboards of attractors, providing each program a unique identity and amplified visibility.Further, maximum pedestrian space is reclaimed and a new, dynamic urban room is created to boost the vitality of Shenzhen’s CBD.The two towers are shifted to make the best possible day-lighting relationships between them and their neighbors, and are sheathed in vertical fins of aluminum (CLC) and stone (MSFL) for self-shading and glare control.The resulting towers combine the clients' desire to project the image of elegance, responsibility, and stability with their wish to stimulate innovation, creativity, and public engagement.
