With human-centric design and eye-catching architecture, KPF’s neighborhood-scale projects enliven Shanghai’s newest business district both individually and as a whole.
Located on the bank of the Huangpu River, Qiantan is a vibrant new neighborhood that has evolved from a marginal site into a major center of economic and cultural activity. KPF has played a central role in this transformation, designing a series of interconnected projects—including office towers, an academic campus, hotels, and residential complexes—that together establish a dynamic and cohesive urban fabric
Each KPF project in Qiantan is thoughtfully positioned to interact with its neighbors, with pedestrian pathways, terraces, and public spaces weaving the district together. This symbiotic network of buildings and landscapes fosters connectivity, activates the riverfront, and supports a lively mix of uses throughout the day and night. The district’s innovative planning and commitment to sustainability further enhance its appeal, encouraging community engagement and setting a new standard for mixed-use urbanism in Shanghai.
The result is a memorable and accessible destination that demonstrates the power of integrated design to shape the city’s future, offering a welcoming environment for residents, workers, and visitors alike.
