OPPO’s
new headquarters will continue their commitment to connectivity through design.

Conceived as four interconnected towers
reaching a height of 200m (42 floors), the 185,000m2 design incorporates two towers of flexible, open-plan spaces linked by a 20-storey vertical lobby, and two external service towers providing vertical circulation.

Orientated to maximize the views over
Shenzhen Bay, the towers taper inwards at lower levels creating large civic spaces at street level.

Locating the towers’ service cores externally
frees the centre of each floor from obstructions; providing uninterrupted views
throughout the building that will enhance
interaction between employees.

The 10th floor Sky Plaza will provide local
residents, visitors and OPPO employees with varied dining, leisure and entertainment facilities, while the rooftop Sky Lab will be a popular public space with spectacular views over one of the world’s most dynamic cities.

Developed as a new civic space for the city
with a public walkway diagonally traversing its centre, OPPO’s headquarters will include a landscaped plaza, art gallery, shops, restaurants and a direct link to the adjacent station of Shenzhen’s subway network.
