SHANDONG PORT TOWER

With its 203-meter-height and prismatic shape developed from a triangular basic grid, the office tower for the Shandong Port Group creates an iconic landmark near the port, welcoming ship passengers like a modern lighthouse. The building’s curved facades with horizontally arranged white panels and cable networks evoke an association with sails. Large open plan areas are located in the lower part and individual offices with reduced depths are placed in the upper stories. Nine naturally ventilated multistory roof gardens have been placed at different levels in the tower and with varying aspects, providing multi-functional facilities for both working and interacting/recreation. Furthermore, the transparent multistory sky garden at the top of the tower contains additional provisions for leisure, fitness, and employee recreation.
