Project

MLA+ was commissioned to redesign the Tianxi Twin Towers. Upon completion the twin towers in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province in South- Eastern China, will be the tallest residential twin towers of the world.
As part of the redesign the communal spaces on the ground floor and the tower tops, as well as the complete façade strategy where revised. The glass façade
is decorated with a high contrast pattern that wraps the towers like a fabric. This powerfull design is executed as a modular, prefabricated system – an intelligent
and cost effective way to combine expressive image and smart technical solution.
During the design process, our local developer client Menli partnered with the international brand Armani/Casa to strengthen the branding of the project. Armani
is responsible for the interior design of the project, which is currently sold as highend luxury apartments in the Chinese market.Two 222 m high residential towers, 110.000 m2 total floor space, residential with community plinth and restaurant and fitness club
