| DESIGN NAME: Hangzhou One Future PRIMARY FUNCTION: Mixed Use INSPIRATION: This project is inspired by the lotus root, which is hollow inside yet upright outside, hence the symbolism of the lotus as a gentleman; it is porous and accessible, hence the symbolism of prosperity. The design of the facade pursues simplicity and subtlety, while maintaining a square and efficient plan, it is slightly divided at the refuge level to create a unique form without affecting the functionality of the floors used.

The goal of the project is to create a humane, modern, innovative and efficient research environment that combines light harvesting, ventilation, energy saving and landscape, creating buildings that are both flexible and sustainable in use. With modern techniques to create a link between the past and the future of the building, enduring, become a classic landmark of the city. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The architectural cores are optimised on a limited plot by minimising the elevator zones, as to create more functional spaces and to maximise the view from the twin towers.

Recycled content; 3. Regional materials; 4. Certified wood; 5. Use of modular design to maximize use of precast elements to minimize the on-site construction works; 6. HEPA filter; 7. Low/No VOC materials.

It is a humane design that creates an exterior-interior connection and maximises the spatial experience, forming a live-work environment that equipped with efficient layout planning. Inspired by the lotus of West Lake, the jagged architectural form staggered on refuge floors to create a lotus root-like façade which is complemented with vertically-connected cores to offer porosity. The massing of the twin towers is symmetrical, offering a unique and lively form in a high-density area. The lotus inspiration is further extended to the curved entrance canopy, softening the linear architectural form that fronts the major roads. The façade concept is derived from the ripples of the lotus lake as a merging of nature and architecture. The bronze façade, uses aluminum and glass panels, glitters distinctively under different angles of sunlight. The vivid and neat appearance create a contemporary office and retail image for the building.
