Designed by Shing & Partners, The Landmark is a residential project catering to distinctive accommodation demands for the select-few. With its 198-metre height, the tower consists of a 52-storey tower and a three-storey podium with a basement, delivering limited 99 units of apartment.
The visual language is extended from the existing city fabric, where The Landmark responds to the skyline Canton Tower and Pearl River system with its organic form. Wrapped by a glass-aluminium curtain-wall system, the tower is constructed with triple-glazed glasses. The irregular pattern of curtain-wall is the outcome of parametric tools, which forms the fluidity of architectural fabric.
The sculptural expression is a consequence of R.O.I. binding stakeholders together within aspects of affordability, utility and investment. Combining three towers into one, such a distinctive layout is shaped by the best access to the views. For maximising advantage on overlooking central lush, the tower is ingeniously rotated by 45 degrees, making it a converging of cityscape and landscape.
The abstract silhouette is the result of an integrated architectural-engineering solution, which minimises structural torsions also relevant to marketing purposes. Considering of its high-end positioning, the team extends competitiveness on panoramas by flexible floor plates - eight mega frame columns deform according to curvature of the tower. Residents therefore are allowed a 270〫 city-view. Under joint impacts of high-rise coupled the irregular floor-plan, risks of twisting and leaning exist when shear walls absent. This leads to the current strategy, where loads are transferred from the fringe by a strengthened concrete core.
