Hangzhou Gateway Building, Chinese Tower Architecture, Gongshu District Project
Hangzhou Gateway, China
Gongshu District Building, Tower design by JDS Architects / Julien De Smet, Netherlands
31 May 2011
Hangzhou Tower
Design: JDS Architects – Julien De Smet
Hangzhou Gateway Building Project
The concept of the building is to create a gateway that is neither closing-off or dividing the city. The 15-story tower features offices, restaurants, post office, a terraced roof garden and a sunken passage that leads through a shopping center.
The rooftop terraces offer generous views to the distant nature while the stone louvers provide a sustainable solution to the office conditions.
The building will become the gateway for the Gongshu District and an icon for the urban transformation of the old industrial neighborhood.
