Ole Scheeren has completed the first of two towers for the Axiom development in The Springs in the center of the Yangpu district in Shanghai, China, Building Design reports. The two buildings will contain more than 2 million ft2 of office, hotel, retail and cultural spaces including a theatre. The design includes a 49-story building rising to 280 m, as well as a 250-m building that is currently being built. The Axiom will have an offset core as opposed to the more standard central core, with the tower’s lifts and services protruding out of the building’s façade. This feature, seen in just 3% of the world’s tallest 500 buildings, aims to maximize internal space and allow large, unobstructed floorplates that can be adapted to the demands of occupiers. The towers will also feature terraces “carved” into the façades halfway up the buildings and a garden on the roof.
