International architecture practice 10 Design has been appointed to realise the design vision of the Shenzhen Government for phase one of the city?s forthcoming flagship scientific research facility, the Shenzhen Pengcheng Laboratory. The practice won the project following a national public tender process held by the Shenzhen Government and Pengcheng Laboratory.

Phase one of the schemes? wider masterplan will manifest in circa 436,500sqm of laboratory space incorporating a series of research spaces, with accompanying recreation, dining, sports and social facilities. 10 Design?s brief is to design a space which promotes social interaction between the researchers who will occupy the site.
