Project Summary
 
As guided by the land-use requirements, the site is enlisted for logistics and trading functions. However, this scheme enlarged the functional elements by combining the traditional warehouses with a raised Wholesale Fashion Market as well as Soho-type business-clusters featuring offices and additional amenities - community retail and F&B - for employees and visitors to the Fashion Market.

Additional hotel, conference center and mall cater for a vibrant community center in a newly developed part of Nanning.

The typology of warehouses has been re-developed for this project, providing a ground floor logistics level with access / egress road system connected on grade to the surrounding road system. On 2F (second floor), all warehouse modules have an open plan layout and combine to a large wholesale market featuring courtyards and natural daylight via glazing between warehouse modules. Intermediate floors of the warehouses - 3F / 4F - are actual warehouse / storage floors, while the top floors - 5F and 6F - can be used either as warehouse or (partly or in full) converted to offices featuring double-height loft layouts and roof terraces.

Warehouse typology, typology of office and apartment clusters arranged around a central greenspace are all configured to provide maximum flexibility in renting out different sized units according to tenant’s requirements.
