Steven Holl建筑事务所设计了花园桥相连的玻璃双塔，该建筑将成为中国深圳biotech company iCarbonX公司的总部。

Steven Holl的建筑师将它描述为“生活和工作之塔”，该开发项目结合一个150米的柱形住宅区和一个200米高的办公大楼，模仿DNA的形式。

建筑工作室说：“这两座塔的造型灵感来源于基因和DNA研究的启发。”Icarbonx的使命，展开信息，反映在建筑的设计中。”

iCarbonX总部将于今年秋季开始施工，立面使用不同透明度的幕墙，以根据每栋建筑的光线需要。

Steven Holl Architects has designed two glass towers linked by garden bridges, which will become the headquarters for biotech company iCarbonX in Shenzhen, China.
Described by Steven Holl Architects as "living and working towers", the development will combine a cylindrical 150-metre-high residential block with a sweeping 200-metre-high office skyscraper, intended to resemble the form of DNA.
"The form of the two towers is inspired by a study of genes and DNA," explained the architecture studio. "iCarbonX's mission – unfolding information – is reflected through the building's design."
Due to begin construction in Autumn of this year, the iCarbonX Headquarters will be fronted by curtain walls with "varying translucencies" to differentiate levels of light as required in each of the buildings.

住宅区将会被花园桥贯穿，花园环绕在投影在建筑的顶部和底部，就像植物碳键一样。每一种处都种满了各种各样的本地热带植物。

Icarbonx总部的上两座桥会形成一个“健康和营养回路”，将住宅楼的健身房与咖啡馆与办公区的商务俱乐部连接起来。

同时，两座较低的桥梁将在画廊、会议室和iCarbonX诊所之间形成连接。

下面的桥将通过Icarbonx总部基地的草地通向一个大型公共广场。

这座广场将部分嵌入地下，用一个循环水装置以“掩盖城市的声音，创造一个宁静、受保护的空间”。

The residential tower will be punctured by garden bridges, which will wrap around the top and base of the building, before projecting out to the office tower, resembling carbon bonds. Each one will each be lined with a variety of native tropical plants.
iCarbonX headquarters' upper two bridges will form a "health and nutrition circuit", which connects a gym in the residential tower to cafes and a business club in the office block.
Meanwhile, the two lower bridges will form a link between galleries, meeting spaces, and the iCarbonX clinic.
The lower bridge will extend down to a large public plaza via a grass-lined podium, positioned at the base of the iCarbonX Headquarters.
This plaza will be partially embedded into the ground, and have a cylindrical water feature that will circulate water to "mask the sounds of the city, creating a peaceful, protected space".
