GALAXY SOHO

GALAXY SOHO challenges people’s conventional thinking in both its coordinates and style. Consisting of four oval-shaped architectures, this silver-white construction appears like a giant architecture in the galaxy. Every individual building has its own atrium and integrates in different levels.

Awarded the International Architecture Award by the Royal Institute of British Architects, GALAXY SOHO covers an area of 330,000 square meters. The swirling and cornerless architectural design makes it look like “solidified lava”.

At night, the shinning GALAXY SOHO has a futuristic sense travelling through time and space.

Leeza SOHO

Deigned by British well-known architect Zaha Hadid, Leeza SOHO boasts one of the most beautiful architectures in the globe and highest atrium building in the world.

Looking upward from the atrium at the first floor of Leeza SOHO, two tower buildings on both sides spiraled up like the DNA double helix structure. Every floor swirls to 45 degree layer-by-layer, forming the 200-meters atrium that is the highest in the world.

The exterior of the building is made of over 4,000 special-shaped united glass. The streamlined, anti-symmetrical curves of the two single towers are like two steel dragons winding upwards, giving the impression of being in a science fiction world.
