Details
Shanghai Huafa Jing’an Mansion is located at Zhongxing Community of Jing’an District, which occupies the approximate site area of 25,000sqm. In terms of human and cultural heritage, Huafa Jing’an Mansion does not only retain an old lane building of Yongzhitang, but also integrates Shanghai's characteristic-Shikumen style into the architectural concept, which fully expresses the cultural context. The façade design adopts modern techniques, but expresses the classical Shanghai-style architectural language that echoes the historic features of existing Shanghai Movie Studio.
The Jury‘s Statement
This residential complex skilfully combines historical, heritage-protected elements with modern design. The preservation and integration of the traditional Shikumen style creates a culturally rich living space that respects Shanghai's architectural history while promoting its further development.
