Lujiazui Standard Chartered Tower
Shanghai|55,350 sqm|2007
To connect this new office tower’s north and south entrance lobbies, we created a dramatic ‘gateway’ in smoked glass, stainless steel and ambient light. At each entrance to this portal, wood-slatted screens rise up and embrace the public spaces, also connecting the floors vertically. A random pattern travertine floor with light, medium, and dark tones further creates a dynamic movement in this public space.
