Welcome to 10 POST.
We are excited to share with you the latest work and news about 10 Design.
Hope you will find it an enjoyable read.

Best wishes,
10's Team
CHENGDU ISLAND BRIDGE  Following the success of the Shizimen bridge, 10 Design have been commissioned for a new 125m long bridge for Wide Horizon Group in Chengdu, China.  In order to allow a more intimate interaction with the natural environment, the bridge’s pedestrian and cycle ways are separated from the road component to encircle a landscaped island, where pedestrians can then choose to step off the bridge to sit by the shore line.  The Bridge is anticipated to be in operation in 2015.   

XIANGZHOU CULTURAL CENTRE  The design is a 50,000sqm facility for housing art and cultural exhibitions for Huafa Group.  The site sits between two historical villages in Zhuhai China.  The building is split into two volumes creating a large outdoor garden for the community, and allowing for maximum planning flexibility. A large public library and theatre open onto the internal garden space, providing a hub for community activities.  The cultural centre is anticipated to be opened to the public in 2015.  
   
CHANGCHENGHUI MIXED USE RETAIL COMPLEX  The vision for the proposed development is to create a vibrant and dynamic addition to the Wuchan district of Wuhan for Great Wall Construction.  The development provides 90,000sqm of grade A office spaces with the tallest tower rising at 200m high.  It is supported by 20,000sqm of retail, F&B, and entertainment spaces.   The project is anticipated to be constructed by 2015.  More

Whilst construction for Phase 1 is well underway, our client (Ching Fu Shipbuilding) has recently re-commissioned 10 Design to direct the design for four more buildings in Phase 2 of the project.   The first 3,000 students enrolled in the College will be on campus by the first year of opening in September 2014.  By 2017, it is anticipated that the number of students will grow to 12,000.  More
