Tencent P5 Residential Complex, China
MVRDV has revealed a large-scale residential complex to take shape as part of a new smart city campus built by technology company Tencent in Qianhai Bay, Shenzhen, China. MVRDV’s intervention, named Tencent P5, is comprised of 11 apartment towers arranged around four courtyards. The towers vary in height, from 57 to 100 meters, and are positioned to allow each apartment to enjoy a private balcony or terrace oriented towards views of the sea and the bay. Additionally, multi-floor breakout spaces are placed at strategic points in the towers to offer a shared amenity to residents and create variety in the facades.
The project also includes amenities such as an adjacent kindergarten, to offer all the necessary facilities for the company’s employees. The fifth block is dedicated to a kindergarten. The building adopts the same courtyard configuration, displaying a series of interconnected blocks around a safe play area for the children. At ground level, the development offers residents large forested green areas and a network of pedestrian streets. Sports facilities and leisure amenities are also dispersed throughout.
The master plan’s smart city features have also influenced the design, as the basement level is created to be connected to a campus-wide network of automated vehicles. The design aims to achieve a three-star Green Building label, China’s highest sustainability certification. Construction began in early 2022 and is scheduled for completion in 2024.
