Wuhan Film Production Studio Plot Design Scheme, Wuhan, China

The overall development comprises office, residential and commercial. Aedas team, led by Global Design Principal Dr. Andy Wen and Executive Director Yijun Qian, designs the super high-rise tower and retail street. The design promotes the integration of ‘sharing, connectivity and greenery’, to maximise the use of the L-shaped plot and to meet the urban planning requirements.
To deliver an efficient commercial experience, the 250m high-rise tower that consists of office and hotel marks the highest point and urban icon within the district. The tower drew inspiration from the poetic Wuhan and authentic cultural symbol - having cranes flying in the clouds around towers. The slightly curved linear architectural form features a Chinese cornice-like crown on top, and a horizontal metal void in the middle of the façade. Glittering in the night, the crown mimics the energetic crane flying above the golden cloud.
The podium adopts a L-shape layout, stacked by various blocks and linked by golden fins echoing the motion of Wuhan lake city. The podium includes a multi-dimensional garden, metro sunken plaza, individual flagship blocks and themed plaza. A vibrant shopping experience is created through diverse retail nodes and a multi-dimensional wandering pavement.
