Summary
MAD Architects has completed the Tengyun Center for Tencent's headquarters campus in Shenzhen, China. The building features three cloud-like office volumes elevated 8.6 meters (30 feet) above the ground, creating open public coastal space beneath the structure. By lifting the main mass onto ten structural columns, the design opens the shoreline to visitors who can walk underneath the workplace toward the water, challenging the typical closed-off nature of corporate campuses.
