In a city defined by velocity, ambition, and a restless pursuit of innovation, true luxury reveals itself not in spectacle but in restraint. This is the guiding spirit behind GCC Casa Milano Shenzhen, the newest residential expression from Liantai Group and the global design studio The One Atelier, which has debuted its show apartment in Shenzhen Bay’s Super Headquarters Base.

The unveiling marks a meaningful cultural moment for Shenzhen. Here, in a district known for monumental architecture, future-focused urban planning and the unmistakable hum of international commerce, Casa Milano introduces something subtler and more enduring: a contemporary Italian interpretation of domestic life, translated with precision for one of China’s most sophisticated residential markets.

This is not simply another premium address. It is the opening chapter of a new design narrative in Shenzhen.

A Convergence of Italian Craft and Chinese Urban Energy

Liantai Group’s GCC (Global Coast Center) development occupies a commanding position along Shenzhen Bay, with panoramic views of the South China Sea and the layered greenery of OCT. In this setting, Casa Milano presents a fresh model of cosmopolitan living, merging Italian design codes with the fluid, forward-looking character of the city.

“Casa Milano represents our ambition to redefine modern urban living in the region,” said Mr. Huang Zhenda, Chairman of the Board at Liantai Group. “Through our collaboration with The One Atelier, we have created residences that capture the essence of Italian craftsmanship while reflecting Shenzhen’s forward-looking attitude.”

His words ring true. The launch is not simply a stylistic exercise but a cultural alignment: Italy’s storied commitment to craft, materiality and proportion meets Shenzhen’s appetite for design-led living that feels global in sensibility and deeply local in lifestyle.

The One Atelier’s Mastery of Atmosphere

The One Atelier, known globally for its role in shaping the interior identities of branded residences and luxury developments, approaches Casa Milano with a focus on subtlety, balance, and sensorial comfort.

Every surface, finish, and furnishing selection has been chosen to cultivate calm sophistication. The palette draws from Milan’s timeless aesthetic vocabulary —beige, cream, and light blue —enriched with bronze and gold accents and anchored by Taj Mahal quartzite, brushed metals, and select Armani/Casa pieces. The result is a home that feels collected rather than decorated, intimate rather than ostentatious.

“Designing Casa Milano in Shenzhen offered an opportunity to interpret traditional Italian elegance in a global, cosmopolitan context,” said Michele Galli, CEO of The One Atelier. “Our approach focused on proportion, texture, and atmosphere, creating unique residences that feel effortless, harmonious, and deeply connected to their surroundings.”

This ethos reflects The One Atelier’s broader philosophy of design as lifestyle translation. The studio excels not only in aesthetics but also in crafting the emotional cadence of a home — its tempo, serenity, and architectural character — which is why luxury brands and developers worldwide continue to rely on their guidance.

A New Residential Language for Shenzhen

Casa Milano introduces an architectural and interior vocabulary that feels refreshing for the region. It leans toward European refinement, yet seamlessly fits within the skyline of a hypermodern coastal city. From the bespoke Italian-made furniture to the interplay of natural stone and brushed metallics, the design is almost meditative.

The development’s high-tech, sustainable façades reinforce its position as a future-facing residential landmark. Inside, natural light plays a central role, softening the geometry of the spaces and creating constant dialogue with the waterfront views. The result is a home that connects the intimacy of Italian domesticity with the expansiveness of Shenzhen Bay.

At a time when China’s affluent buyers increasingly seek residences that speak to global taste while expressing local identity, Casa Milano strikes a compelling middle ground.

The Setting: Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters Base

Casa Milano’s location within the Super Headquarters Base elevates the project even further. The district represents Shenzhen’s most ambitious urban planning vision to date, a flagship waterfront hub defined by:
Landmark architecture by global firms

  • Green boulevards and cultural institutions
  • Next-generation office clusters
  • High-end residential enclaves designed for international appeal

In this environment, Casa Milano feels like both a complement and a counterpoint. It harnesses the dynamism of its setting while offering interiors that feel crafted, measured, and deeply sensory.

A New Chapter for Liantai Group

For Liantai Group, the debut of Casa Milano reflects its evolution from a major urban developer into a tastemaker of residential lifestyle. With assets of RMB 93.8 billion and work across more than 40 cities in China, Liantai’s influence is extensive. Yet Casa Milano suggests a new kind of ambition — one that is not purely infrastructural but emotional, artisanal, and architectural.

This partnership with The One Atelier signals an embrace of elevated design and a recognition of the growing sophistication of Shenzhen’s luxury homebuyers.

The Arrival of a Modern Classic

The launch of the Casa Milano show apartment on 11 November 2025 introduces a project with clear aspirations. It is poised to become a reference point for design-led living in Shenzhen, a city where lifestyle, architecture, and culture increasingly intersect.

Casa Milano does not aim to shout across the skyline. Instead, it offers something far more enduring: a thoughtful, beautifully composed environment where Italian elegance and Chinese modernity meet in quiet dialogue.

In a global era where luxury is defined less by excess and more by authenticity, craftsmanship, and emotional clarity, Casa Milano arrives at precisely the right moment.
