Proposed World Headquarters for High Tech
manufacturing company, Changzhou, Jiangsu Province,
China (Concept Design approved by Changzhou
Government)
This concept is a 13 storey (50,000 m2)
building designed to mimic nature by way of a tree
(biomimicry).
The building structure and services are integrated
into the building through a series of elements which
also act as the base for the double facade. A
central tree canopy atrium and light wells (which
are also water storages) provide equitable access to
natural light to all building inhabitants. The
design is aimed at achieving the highest green star
rating under the China Green Building Council
system. The proposal has achieved government
approval and is now under negotiation to establish
the final mix of tenants. The concept includes a 5
Star hotel, commercial office development and
function centres.
