ShenBaoGuan Boutique Offices
Located within easy walking distance of the Bund in Shanghai, ShenBaoGuan is a building of historical significance, which has been converted into a mixed use development comprising of restaurants on the lower floors, and boutique offices on the upper floors of a total of approximately 5,000m². The building façade shows neo-classical flourishes typical of the architecture of this period in Shanghai's history, and its restoration pays particular attention to revealing and highlighting the existing historical detailing.
The interior takes on some of these forms reinterpreted in a contemporary fashion, such as the atrium composed of curving balconies, which forms the core of the building. All spaces are oriented around the central atrium, which is flooded with natural daylight, and designed to optimize natural ventilation throughout the building.The rooftop has been transformed into a multi-leveled outdoor space with decking, benches and greenery, opening up spectacular panoramic views across the Huangpu river to the iconic towers of Pudong.
