Shougang Park Urban Weaving District
Lead8

Regenerating an industrial site into a future flagship TOD for Beijing

Lead8 as Masterplanning, Architecture

Lead8 is the overall masterplanner for the Shougang Park Urban Weaving District in Beijing. It also delivered the architecture design of the first phase transit-oriented, mixed-use scope of the overall urban generation masterplan.

The masterplan forms part of a significant rejuvenation undertaking in Beijing as the site transforms a 100-year-old Capital Steel Factory Park into a thriving multi-activity destination. Comprising retail, office, hotel, entertainment, public transport interchange (PTI), and MICE, the scheme is targeting high-tech firms as future tenants. Once complete, the project is set to become a future flagship transit-oriented development (TOD) in the city’s new Shougang North District.

Located above the new metro interchange station of M11 and R1 in Shougang, the project will feature as the gateway welcoming visitors to the 2022 Winter Olympics site. The site represents the opportunity to herald a new benchmark for regeneration in the city and will join other compelling rejuvenation projects already underway as part of the wider, collective efforts across the Shougang District.

Echoing the government’s initiatives to regenerate the Shougang District, the masterplan will preserve the original urban fabric and rebuild the historic buildings while retaining the industrial remains’ authenticity. This includes the reuse of existing heritage columns and brickwork. Lead8’s placemaking strategy will see nature, landscape, culture and technology integrated across the 938,000 sqm development.

Benefiting from a transit-oriented approach, the architectural design directly integrates five metro line exits from the underground interchange station. The well-planned pedestrian network maximises circulation across the development and seamlessly connects the entire Shougang Park below-ground, at ground level and above-ground on multiple floors. As part of this design, each factory building features a themed atrium connecting B1 to L2 and exposes the interior detailing of the historic structures.

Designed to meet the 3-Star China Green Building standard, Shougang Park Urban Weaving District will be one of the most iconic mixed-use and urban regeneration developments in the region. The development is currently under construction.
