QINGDAO GREENTOWN

QINGDAO, CHINA | SKIDMORE, OWINGS & MERRILL

Qingdao Greentown is a mixed­use office and retail development in Qingdao, China. The project's design focuses on Qingdao's MARITIME TRADITION and history with references to WATER AND THE SEA

The grond floor is split between office, residential and hotel lobbies. The most prominent feature of the office lobby is the core wall, composed of GLASS TUBES in wave forms set into BACKLIT STAINLESS STEEL FRAMES. A glass rod sculpture in the form of OCEAN SWELLS shares the central space with a BOAT­SHAPED RECEPTION

DESK The cool materiality of the lobby completes its marine theme.
