Shanghai Shipyard is a new mixed-use development in the Lujiazui district, Shanghai, which has remained active and vibrant. A key driver behind the master plan, conceived by Farrells, was to create an interconnected new destination—one that would bring people together in a myriad of ways, paving the way for a new future vision of urban life.
Public plaza
Comprising two office blocks with a large public plaza, Shanghai Shipyard has vibrant streetscapes that form part of the larger context of an arts and culture focused area. Farrells’ approach to the Lujiazui district was to design a neighbourhood for local residents—a place for them to relax, entertain, gather and be inspired. Through a purposeful and connection-driven design, the district’s cultural venues and recreational spaces along the waterfront promenade are linked by shaded pathways and bike lanes, as well as lush landscapes. Designed with both locals and visitors in mind, the streetscapes vary with the seasons, whilst creating familiarity and a strong sense of place.
