Uniview Headquarters in Hangzhou Building
Uniview Headquarters represents a modern, technology-driven corporate environment. Designed with efficiency, dynamism, and functional integration, the headquarters is an advanced intelligent industrial park integrating offices, research and development, conferences, and reception facilities, which fosters communication, collaboration, and creativity within a cohesive and dynamic workspace.
The site is nestled in Hangzhou’s key high-tech industrial zone, and it extends to the southern tip of an urban landscape axis. Within the site, a large sunken garden connects to the urban park, serving as the district’s public green core.
The headquarters’ west interface, characterized by a 120m-long and 7m-wide elevated corridor in a sweeping curve, connects the external park, sunken courtyard, and entrances to the R&D area, engaging nature in an embracing dialogue, while the south and east maintain a neat design, aligning with the surrounding cityscape.
The headquarters comprises a 22-story administrative office tower, an 8-story R&D center, and a service and leisure hub at the base. Given the high building and user density, a covered corridor on the ground level serves as the building’s organizational artery, allowing smooth navigation and efficient access for staff and visitors.
The design fosters an open and vibrant atmosphere for over 5,000 employees by providing diverse shared spaces. With a flat floor space extending to 5,000 sqm on each level, the R&D center is designed to be “flattened and widened,” establishing an intimate connection with the rich functionality below. The basement serves as a leisure hub, housing a staff cafeteria, fitness center, library, café, and retail spaces. This functional integration contributes to a holistic, dynamic work environment with enriching leisure and relaxation options.
The architectural narrative further unfolds through two atriums, which function as interconnected hubs integrating the tower, multi-story building, podium, and basement. The atriums are designed to maximize the natural illumination that permeates the interior through extensive glazing atop. Open staircases and transparent interfaces encourage social interactions. The upper atrium features 28m-tall steel columns that align with slim beams between modular skylight rows, enhancing spatial purity and structural aesthetics.
