BluPrint: Architecture and Design

Kris Lin International Design crafted the GuoHua Financial Centre, situated in the northern Bund area of Shanghai. The project recognizes the building’s landmark significance and its prime waterfront location opposite the Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone. This prominent setting heavily influenced the spatial design, prompting the seamless incorporation of art and social amenities into the office environment. As such, the space includes features like an art gallery, a coffee bar, and shared meeting rooms, establishing the centre as a distinctive urban landmark.
