Framing Heritage with Form
Platinum Tower Shanghai redefines the modern office typology with a sculptural design that responds to its iconic neighbour, Xintiandi. Anchored by a sweeping façade and voluminous roof, the tower unfurls like a Chinese scroll while maximizing spatial efficiency through a side-core layout. Its 7-meter-high veranda gracefully links the contemporary form to the historic streetscape, blending old and new in Shanghai’s evolving urban identity.
Platinum Tower Shanghai stands as a beacon of architectural finesse—where contextual sensitivity meets high-performance design. More than just an office building, it is a sculpted gesture of modernity woven into the cultural tapestry of Shanghai’s urban core. Through its refined form, efficient planning, and respectful engagement with heritage surroundings, the tower not only elevates the skyline but also enriches the pedestrian experience—affirming its role as both a landmark and a bridge between past and future.
