Nikken Sekkei 1:1000 Scale Showcase of an Urban Complex

Introduction

Welcome to a stunning piece of craftsmanship: a 1:1000 scale model of a vast urban complex, expertly crafted for Nikken Sekkei, a leading Japanese architectural firm, as part of a Tencent project competition. Set in Shenzhen's picturesque Qianhai area, this model highlights an expansive coastal development featuring multiple office buildings, an innovative research and development center, and modern residential apartments. The design employs maple wood, light blue accents for the sea, white structures, and light green vegetation, resulting in a visually engaging and harmonious display.

Background

Created for a high-stakes Tencent competition, this model depicts an extensive urban complex located in the prime coastal area of Qianhai, Shenzhen. Known for its strategic location and immense growth potential, this area is home to various structures, including office buildings, an R&D hub, and apartments, showcasing a meticulously planned, multifunctional urban space.

Materials and Craftsmanship

The model’s elegance is achieved through the use of simple, sophisticated materials. The base, made from maple wood, offers a warm, natural texture that contrasts beautifully with the light blue sea and pristine white buildings. The addition of light green vegetation enhances the model’s vibrant, layered look.

Creation Process

Our skilled team completed this intricate model within two weeks, allowing for meticulous detail despite the 1:1000 scale. Every architectural element is precisely represented, bringing the original design concept to life in miniature form. Spanning 2 meters by 1 meter, the model is an impressive representation of the complex's expansive layout.

Detailed Features

Each element of the model is crafted with exceptional precision. From the sleek office buildings to the cutting-edge R&D center and the comfortable residential apartments, every structure is faithfully recreated. The model also includes surrounding greenery and public amenities, providing a holistic view of the urban planning and layout.

Office Buildings

Our model features modern office buildings with sleek designs and open-plan spaces, reflecting a professional and efficient work environment. Public spaces within the office complex are also highlighted, showcasing a blend of functionality and contemporary design.

Research and Development Center

At the heart of the project is the R&D center, emphasizing innovation and technological advancement. The model showcases both exterior and interior layouts, demonstrating the center's modern design and its role as a hub for high-tech enterprises.

Residential Apartments
