Featured Projects
Kaisa Fenglong Center
With its impressive 92-story height and exquisite architectural design, Kaisa Fenglong Center is expected to set the pace for environmentally-friendly tall buildings in Shenzhen. Capitalizing on RTKL’s mixed-use expertise, the Class-A office tower features six floors of high-end retail, dining, and entertainment options at its base. The tower will also be an asset to Shenzhen’s skyline with a dynamic façade that gives the impression of movement while remaining solidly grounded. By focusing on conserving resources and environmental protection, the design team is ensuring that Kaisa Fenglong Center will be a leader in China’s green building industry.
Naberezhnaya Office Towers
Innovatively combining modern design and comfortable, functional space, Naberezhnaya Office Towers provide a contemporary working environment in Russia’s capital city. ENKA, one of Moscow’s most prestigious developers, set out to capitalize on 200,000 SM of rentable area in the heart of the city, resulting in three Class-A office towers of 17, 27 and 57 stories respectively. The towers feature high ceilings, flexible and open floor plates, and internal partitioning tailored to tenant requirements. Underground parking and a sound-insulated facade adapt to the challenges of the urban setting, and the varying building heights allow for spectacular views of the city center and the Moscow River.
1225 Connecticut Avenue
The newly renovated 1225 Connecticut Avenue office building repositions the landmark site with a state-of-the-art, LEED Platinum Core & Shell facility. RTKL was commissioned with a full building renovation, including replacing the exterior, reconfiguring the core, and redesigning the lobby to create a modern building that would suit the surrounding historic context, achieve approval from DC’s Historic Preservation Office, and attain LEED certification. The new facade features a glazed curtain wall divided into six vertical segments, which maximizes natural light while the project’s fully-planted green roof underpins its LEED Platinum rating.
