Biophilic Creative Blocks for Shanghai Zhenru Urban Sub-center Development and Construction Investment Co., Ltd.

Jolly eco-space merged with dynamic functions is alluring to digital enterprises and makers, thus enlivening the region. This space in urban intensive construction areas is of continued charm to nearby residents. It knows no boundaries and delights them both physically and mentally.
