The Qianhai Free Trade Center in Shenzhen is strategically located within the Ma Wan area and serves as a key urban axis for the Qianhai district. Its low-density building complex features flexible shared spaces, dynamic architectural forms, and unique outdoor landscapes.

“Shenzhen is a youthful city, characterized by its freedom and openness, as well as its global perspective and Chinese characteristics. The people of Shenzhen are inclusive and forward-thinking, exemplified by the winding coastline along the bay area which embodies the attitude of exploration. “Our goal is to create a multi-dimensional teaching environment that combines organic flow lines, open atriums filled with natural light, and interconnected ‘internal building’ spaces that promote collaboration and comfort. We also aim to optimize movement paths while emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow, tangible forms and invisible elements, in order to seamlessly blend boundaries and facilitate effective communication through cleverly designed terraced structures.” said Tan Kan, founder of Taigu Design.

The “ring double running ladder”, “conch” shaped road show ladder, and the “spring” rotating ladder connecting the underground layer are strategically positioned in the open atrium. The curves of the stairs create a captivating display under the flowing light and shadow on the projector surface of the large glass zenith, evoking a strong sense of curiosity for exploring the unknown world.

The dynamic curve tilt and flowing organic form of the staircase become the visual focal point of the space, showcasing its cylindrical plastic feeling and artistry in internal construction.

The staircase is connected to the circular walkway on each floor, which in turn connects to the “inner construction” box body, forming a continuous indoor vein. The building has a multi-faceted orientation from southeast to northwest, surrounded by transparent curtain walls. Functional spaces are located next to the windows and facing the atrium from outside to inside. Natural light is introduced into the rooms through surrounding curtain walls and skylights, creating an open and inviting atmosphere for the book bar with rich texture.

For me, the profession of design is serendipitous rather than planned. As a result, I have remained composed, inquisitive, and at ease, free from the pressures of superficial recognition that have plagued many for years. While technical expertise is essential in the field of design, the art of design is primarily methodical and logical yet practical; Design should be guided by intuition and a sense of purpose, embodying a state of effortless action.– Founder, Tan Kan
