Not really...

488m / 120f = 4.07m per floor.

West Tower

432m / 103f = 4.19m per floor. (438m is to the top of the helipad)

4m is more than enough for an A grade office...

SilentStrike · March 22nd, 2009, 10:32 PM

but then SWFC has 102 floors and is higher.

One thing's good about that though, it means that East tower wont have a huge spire.

I don't say somme buildings don't have taller floors, just that 4.07m is more then enough...

Burj Dubai have 624m / 162 (habitable) floors = 3.85 m per floor...

(all buildings are Mixed use towers)

Beautiful and so elegant. It does not need something else. It is exactly the way a skyscraper have to be designed from bottom to top.

SilentStrike · March 23rd, 2009, 05:16 PM

are ytou talking about the current boxy proposal?

regjeex · March 24th, 2009, 09:53 AM

ZZ-II · March 24th, 2009, 06:26 PM

the render is only a concept...no final design or anything

SilentStrike · March 24th, 2009, 07:54 PM

ALOT has to change before i like it though.

UD2 · March 25th, 2009, 12:14 AM

hmmm a disproportional gate, it's gotta have some implications to Fengshui?

any experts here? i think that's a bad thing right? It's better for gates to be balanced? And plus, it's against the Chief Party Secretary calling for harmony.

Please make it twins.

and build this thing somewhere else =-))... like Tianjin.

kingsc · March 25th, 2009, 06:22 AM

I thought this was a twin what the hell is going on? Can they at less make them sister buildings.

Maybe not as boxy as it first appears. The thin edge has a slight concave curve. Anyway, it's only the concept, not the final design.

This tower is fine, but I think Shenzhen has now surpassed Guangzhou.

krkseg1ops · April 24th, 2009, 01:01 AM

I think the towers don't have to be identical. In fact, if one is cylindrical and the other is not, both would look better.
And indeed the park past them is beautiful!

CarlosBlueDragon · April 24th, 2009, 10:45 AM

west tower 438m so nice!!
I want east tower 538m!!! 100m!!

ZZ-II · April 24th, 2009, 06:42 PM

danVan · April 24th, 2009, 07:35 PM

Even though i would love twins, i wouldn't mind them being different, but not with that design
