Qianhai Guiwan Park Comp

Greenview Landscape Design Limited (GVL) / Shenzhen, China

McGregor Coxall was invited by Shenzhen International to develop our concept design for the new Qianhai Guiwan Park Waterfront. The 2.2 kilometre environmental corridor extends up to 245 m in width and will form a ribbon of new linkages to activate the basin and improve connectivity for pedestrians in the city.

The densely populated economic zone lies in Shenzens west coast and will establish a premium waterfront destination that optimises the ecological performance of the river corridor creating a world class sustainable public realm asset for over 1m people projected to live and work in the area.
