Shun Hing Square
Shenzhen, China

HEIGHT: 384m/1,260 feet
FLOORS: 69 floors
COMPLETION: 1996
ARCHITECT: K.Y. Cheung Design Associates

Shun Hing Square is the tallest steel building in China and the tallest building overall in Shenzhen. The tower is a thin slab with rounded corners clad in glass. Aluminum and glass covers the larger faces. Two turrets on the roof of the building conceal window-washing equipment and support the twin masts.

Shun Hing Square also provides offices, apartments, and a shopping arcade complex. The shopping arcade is a five-storey mall with four sets of escalators, five passenger lifts and two service lifts and a floor area ranging from 3450m2 to 4900m2. There is an observation floor called "Meridian View Centre" at the 69th floor.

I don't know why I love this tower so much.....Unique it is!

9.5/10........high marks for Double Spire!

Jasonhouse · October 4th, 2002, 11:01 PM

I like the double spire too, but the facade seems just a bit bland. Sort of needs some texture or something... It reminds me too much of those glassy corporate highrises in Houston for my taste.

I only give it an 8.5/10

Nice! 9/10. Looks dangerous. This building has fangs, like a double hypodermic needle.

8/10

Yes it looks dangerous and menacing. But I dont like the side view..too thin. It can only look good in China somehow...

I don't know why I don't like this building as much... It's design seems better suited for a building that's 250m, IMHO. 7/10

no comment. 10/10

It's an ok tall.

The brown/pinkish facade loses points for me though. 7/10

8.5/10!

- I like the color scheme

- "Shiney"

- sleek

- I love its twin spires!

AG · October 10th, 2002, 11:00 AM

The spires give this building style, but looking at it from it's narrow sides doesn't look good.

8.5/10

October 10th, 2002, 10:46 PM

Nice...looks best at night.

8.5/10

I don't fancy this one too well. 5/10

cgrassham · October 15th, 2002, 03:16 PM

I'm not sure if I like this building 6/10

oztraelian · October 17th, 2002, 01:24 AM

Fantastic. But however much the spires enhance the overall impact, it's more likely they've been added for height. btw 9/10.
