Golden Key Venue

Golden Key Venue is an office building in Shanghai, China, created by transforming a former warehouse. Three low-rise blocks are linked to a high-rise zone. A 26 meter cantilever is supported by two tilted columns clad in mirror finish stainless steel. The facade is made of 28,000 red terracotta panels, giving a minimalist campus-like appearance, while ultra-white glass curtain walls form the upper level. Stacked volumes create loft-like interiors. Courtyards, terraces, rooftop gardens and green spaces along Chuanqiao Road connect users with nature.

Golden Key Venue Industrial and Office Building by MADA s.p.a.m. LLC has been recognized as a grand representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Golden Key Venue Industrial and Office Building earned the Platinum A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2025.
