Two Aedas projects recognised at Global RLI Awards 2018
Aedas-designed Hengqin MCC Headquarters Complex (Phase II) in Zhuhai, China, was named RLI Future Project 2018; while Olympia 66 in Dalian, China, received a high commendation for RLI International Shopping Centre 2018 at this year’s Global RLI Awards.
Designed by Global Design Principal Andy Wen and Chairman and Global Design Principal Keith Griffiths, Hengqin MCC Headquarters Complex (Phase II), with two high-rise Grade-A office towers and a series of retail, banquet, entertainment and leisure venues, sits in a prime area on the Hengqin Island in close proximity to the Lotus Bridge that links to Cotai, Macau.

Design of the two towers and the small banquet building in between took reference from the totem of two dragons chasing for a pearl which symbolises good fortune and happiness in ancient Chinese myths. The towers portray a sense of strength and power with a façade that shimmers under the sun; while the banquet building looks like an exquisite pearl. The podium design echoes the nearby Lotus Bridge. It resembles a blooming lotus flower with ‘lotus leaves’ wrapping around the shopping centre and lining up the retail streets.

Designed by Global Design Principals Christine Lam and David Clayton, Olympia 66 is a statement of innovative design as a landmark in the city of Dalian. The design respects Chinese culture and urban context, with the thoughtful approach to its relationship to the street providing generous community space and plazas with integrated landscape. This seven-storey shopping mall grasps the fine balance between complex form and function, responding to the immediate surroundings and local community and providing the largest shopping, lifestyle and leisure complex in Dalian.
Organised by UK magazine Retail & Leisure International (RLI), the Global RLI Awards honour and reward the very best projects from the world of retail and leisure.

Aedas partners with Swire Properties in Arts Month 2018
As a leading architecture and design practice, Aedas places creativity and creative thinking above everything. The architecture practice are committed to foster creativity and engage in the communities we design for. In Hong Kong, the firm partnered with Swire Properties to bring British artists to the following highlighted programmes at Swire Properties Arts Month 2018:
1. Urban Art at Taikoo Park, Taikoo Place (Live painting from 22 to 24 March)
Three British artists, Phil Ashcroft, Graeme Brusby (aka Xenz) and Duncan Jago (aka Mr Jago), will paint murals in Taikoo Park. The live painting is set to infuse this space with street art’s vibrant energy while showcasing the art form. The murals are composed of smaller canvasses that will be individually sold to raise funds for the Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation’s programme for disadvantaged and underprivileged youth.
2. Remi Rough at Quarry Bay MTR (From 23 March)
British artist Remi Rough will inject energy and new life into the Taikoo Place exit at Quarry Bay MTR station with a dramatic and site-specific new geometric mural. By reimagining this public space, Rough will create a vibrant and vivid travelling experience, stimulating Hong Kong’s general public on their everyday commute, and encouraging a fresh engagement with the space. The work has been commissioned by Swire Properties and MTR, in partnership with Aedas.
At the press conference Chairman and Global Design Principal Keith Griffiths said, “We are pleased to partner with Swire and four talented British artists in this special collaboration. We have worked with all these brilliant artists and I am happy to introduce them to the Hong Kong people.”

Aedas Wins Hat-trick of Awards at 2017 MIPIM Asia Awards
30th November 2017 – Aedas outperformed other projects from various Asian countries and landed three 2017 MIPIM Asia Awards, including:
– China World Trade Center Phase 3C Development, Beijing, China – Gold Award, Best Chinese Futura Project
– Unilever Headquarters, Jakarta, Indonesia – Gold Award, Best Office & Business Development
– Olympia 66, Dalian, China – Silver Award, Best Retail Development
Designed by Andrew Bromberg at Aedas, China World Trade Center Phase 3C Development in Beijing, China, is the fifth and final phase of the entire China World Development, which acts as a catalyst as a cultural centre to bring people together from within and beyond China World Trade Center by introducing a ‘Civic Green’ to the entire master plan and serving as the new front door to the entire China World complex. It also allows the basement retail to have a continuous loop which ties the current and future subway lines together to enable and encourage connections over and under Third Ring Road.
The Civic Green is designed to be a sloped plan lifted above the ground, dipping down to the main entrance and allowing immediate access and visibility from all levels of the development. The front door is carved to immediately descend down to the retail loop, extending the basement as part of the ground plane. A large exhibition center becomes the ‘attractor’ at the basement level to invite visitors down to the retail loop, while an Olympic-sized ice-skating rink under the Civic Green is another attractor from above. In addition to traditional retail and food and beverage elements, the development also provides art studios, large exhibition spaces, organic farm, cultural and educational facilities to enrich the site.
Unilever Headquarters, designed by Executive Director Steven Thor, is located in the BSD Green Office Park, Jakarta, Indonesia. The new headquarters is designed to support the spirit of community, collaboration, engagement and agility with reference to the traditional village planning in Indonesia. It has a ‘square’, ‘main roads’, and ‘streets’ to create a sense of community. The planning is focused on engaging group and individual work into zones to induce collaboration while maintaining privacy. The top four floors are office spaces with break-out areas; while the ground floor is dedicated to public and shared facilities. Surrounding the central, light-filled atrium that serves as a large event space are common facilities including a mosque, staff dining area, day care centre, fitness centre, beauty salon and multi-purpose hall.
Completed in 2015, Olympia 66, designed by Global Design Principals Christine Lam and David Clayton, is located in Dalian, China, and offers 221,900 square meters of shopping, dining and entertainment space. It creates a contemporary statement with an oriental overtone, and boasts a unique architectural style, with its grand curving geometric design reflecting the concept of the auspicious Chinese twin swimming carp. The project features sophisticated vistas and interconnected vibrant atrium spaces. The shells on the roof are layered to create clear storey glazing, allowing direct and reflected light into the two atria. The specially-designed vertical columns inside the mall give an artistic touch and create maximum space to enhance customers’ shopping experience.
The MIPIM Asia Awards recognise the property industry’s best and brightest, rewarding innovation and achievement in a variety of fields.

Main Building of Guangdong, Macau Traditional Chinese Medicine Science and Technology Industrial Park, Zhuhai, China, by Aedas:
Located on the Hengqin Island in Zhuhai, the Main Building of Guangdong, Macau Traditional Chinese Medicine Science and Technology Industrial Park will serve as a headquarters with rentable offices, an exhibition centre, a business incubation centre, a service centre and more.

The St. Regis Chengdu forms part of the Evergrande Huazhi Plaza, a large scale mixed-use development located at the heart of Chengdu and designed by Executive Director Ed Lam. All buildings within the development reveal elements of the natural landscape of Sichuan. The unitised glass curtain wall of the hotel expresses movement and verticality, while the granite cladding shows pride and firmness. The combination transforms the hotel tower into an architectural metaphor of mountain and waterfall.

MOKO in Hong Kong, also designed by Ed Lam, was named Best Retail Architecture in Asia Pacific.

Sina Plaza
Sina Plaza, the principal office for Nasdaq-listed SINA Corporation in China, reflects the infinity symbol ‘∞’ to express the concept of ‘limitless’ – as advances in media technology and information flow have opened up unlimited opportunities in the digital world. Drawing from the Chinese architectural heritage of courtyards, the building frames two major open courtyard gardens for the users. At the intersection or centre of the building is the main entrance and a focal point – the ‘Eye of Sina’ – an atrium space that serves as the main vertical circulation hub and features a 12-metre high conical media screen which displays current media information by Sina.com and Weibo.

Chongqing Xinhua Bookstore Group Jiefangbei Book City Mixed-use Project
Chongqing Xinhua Bookstore Group Jiefangbei Book City Mixed-use Project is a dynamic complex that encompasses a sky cultural plaza, retail shops, apartments, offices and a boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Chongqing. The design drew inspirations from an ancient Chinese prose ‘Knowledge brings wealth’ to integrate book with the cultural elements of Chongqing, creating an interactive commercial complex with Xinhua Bookstore sitting at the core of the podium.
Located in the beautiful Yangmingshan and adjacent to the famous Taipei Hwa Kang Art School, the design of Taipei European School European Secondary Campus Redevelopment takes into account local climatic conditions and draws its inspiration from traditional book cases used in China for book collection by creating a series of ‘shells’ on elevation. At the same time, the design maximises natural light and provides shading to the functional spaces while greatly reducing a reliance on artificial lighting and air conditioning.
Qingdao Chengyang Cultural Arts and Sports Center combines a theatre, museum, archive and sports venue in a holistic manner. The shape of the building is similar to a cut diamond, which the numerous changes in dimension reflect the colourful urban life of Chengyang. The façade uses Qingdao’s local stones to form a texture that is rich in geographical features.
