Andrew Bromberg's Award-Winning Pazhou Vanke Building

Unveiling the Unique Features of the Silver A' Design Award Recipient

Andrew Bromberg - Aedas, renowned for his innovative architectural designs, has once again made a mark with the Pazhou Vanke Building. This mixed-use structure, which bagged the Silver A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award in 2019, is a testament to Bromberg's ability to blend form, function, and context in a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing manner.

The Pazhou Vanke Building is not just another structure dotting the cityscape. It is a unique composition that optimizes views while presenting a powerful expression that seamlessly integrates with its context. The tower mass straddles the northern edge of the site, aligning with the adjacent “GZ The Place” complex to the East, another masterpiece by Bromberg's team. The tower's slenderness gives it a strong vertical appearance, with edges focused towards main road intersections.

What sets the Pazhou Vanke Building apart is its thoughtful design. The elevations are broken down horizontally with recesses, sunshades, and balconies. Varying unit types stack vertically, separated by refuge floors. Lofts are located at lower levels, engaging inner courtyard gardens, while simplex units occupy the mid-levels, and luxury apartments are situated on the higher floors. Refuge levels function as sky gardens and private roof decks, providing shared communal space. The result is a dynamic dialogue with “The Place”.

The Silver A' Design Award is no small feat. It is awarded to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation. These designs, admired for their strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill, showcase a remarkable level of excellence and introduce positive feelings, amazement, and wonder. The Pazhou Vanke Building, with its unique properties and innovative design, is indeed a deserving recipient of this prestigious award.

The design team, led by Andrew Bromberg at Aedas, deserves applause for their contribution to this project. Their combined efforts have resulted in a structure that not only stands out in terms of design but also serves as a functional space for various purposes.

In conclusion, the Pazhou Vanke Building is a shining example of how innovative design can transform a structure into a work of art. It is a testament to Andrew Bromberg - Aedas' commitment to creating designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and contextually appropriate. The Silver A' Design Award is a well-deserved recognition of this architectural marvel.
