China Merchants Tower (Chinese: 招商局广场) is a skyscraper in Shekou, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China.[3] It was designed by Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill.[1][2]

Design

[edit]

The building is designed to allow access to outdoor balconies on every level. The tower is covered with glass-made, unitized curtain wall, with tightly placed horizontal fins in order to minimize solar gain.[4]
