Sino Ocean is an office/retail/residential and entertainment project that emphasizes green coverage and the use of curves in both building facades and pedestrian walkways, maximizing traffic and creating a conscious experience of the architecture. At the project’s western end sits a 25-story office building featuring private entry and drop-off, to prevent interference with recreational and residential traffic. The high-end Soho Residential building is complemented by a club that provides a wealth of leisure offerings, including a pool, gaming areas, and library. The 4-story retail center is serviced by three pedestrian walkways to accommodate visitors from all directions, and guide them to restaurant tenants after mall hours. With 30% green coverage and innovative “cool roofing” to reflect sunlight, Sino Ocean is an environmentally conscious, architecturally-advanced project for modern Beijing.
