在蘇州河與城市記憶的交界處,Aedas院士及全球設計董事溫子先博士(Dr. Andy Wen)帶領團隊,以集200米塔樓與商業裙樓于一體的上海大悅城二期北地塊項目,為上海靜安區的城市肌理注入當代活力。項目于2023年全面竣工,交付使用后原商業裙樓產權發生變更,由新的業主方進行了適應性改造優化,現已成為某知名企業總部空間。本文聚焦呈現Aedas團隊在項目原始設計階段的核心理念與設計策略。
Led by Aedas Global Design Principal Dr. Andy Wen, Shanghai COFCO Joy City Phase 2 integrates a 200m office towerwith 7 low-rise buildings, forming a dynamic architectural landmark that revitalises the district’s urban texture.Repurposed from its original retail function, the low-rise buildings now serve as the strategic headquarters of a leading enterprise, reflecting the flexibility and enduring value of the development.
The Phase 2 development is situated west of the Phase 1, which features a rooftop Ferris wheel and residential towers. The surrounding context features a blend of traditional garden villas alongside heritage buildings preserved within the site. The design honors the cultural legacy while shaping a future landmark that complements the evolving skyline.

“建筑不僅是容器,更是與城市、居民對話的媒介。我們希望借由蘇州河,以現代語匯回應歷史,塑造一個呼吸、生長的活力核心。”溫子先博士(Dr. Andy Wen)說道。
‘Architecture is a medium for dialogue between the city and its people.’ Andy shares. ‘The design responds to the local history to shape a vibrant development along Suzhou Creek.’
The tower’s massing is elegantly tapered at both top and bottom, shaping a refined architectural silhouette. Drawing inspiration from Suzhou Creek, the façade design abstracts the fluidity of water through wave-like aluminum louvers. These elements create a dynamic visual rhythm across the deep grey Low-E double-glazed curtain wall, forming a layered, flowing pattern that shifts with light. Beyond aesthetics, the louvers provide solar shading and reduce energy consumption. The ground-floor lobby features a double-height design, with full-height glazing that invites natural light into the space, delivering a grand and sophisticated arrival experience.
Seven low-rise buildings are arranged around the office tower on the west, establishing a dynamic east-west commercial axis that efficiently channels circulation and preserves the historical architecture within the development. A sunken plaza anchors the heart of the development, seamlessly connecting to a grand staircase that descends toward the basement level. The dual-ground-floor ensures smooth circulation and enhances spatial connectivity. Each building is articulated with layered terraces, enriching the architectural form while introducing generous public zones for interaction.
The low-rise buildingsdraw inspiration from the surrounding garden villas, adopting varied rooflines, multi-levelled terraces paired with aluminum grille windows reflect the architectural richness of traditional Shanghai streetscapes. Same architectural language is employed to establish a harmonious dialogue with the surrounding urban context.

“這是一處歷史與未來的交匯點,我們希望為片區打造的不僅是一座地標,更是一個激發活力、承載記憶的城市客廳。”溫子先博士(Dr. Andy Wen)分享道。
‘This is a place where history meets the future. The design does not only create a landmark, but shapes a vibrant urban living room that inspires energy and preserves memory,’ Andy shares.
