Dimensions & Packaging

Space: Changing Sceneries with Appropriate Scale
In the center of the campus is a “Zen” like courtyard, a space for meditation and thoughts befitting the story of DAMO for learning and innovation.
Challenge: complex circulation
The finger-shaped office buildings are set in parallel with the view corridor while canteen and public amenities are sensibly placed in the center of the campus on the north-south central axis for easy access.

Production Technology

Office: sharing efficient unit and special design
The R&D buildings are all designed to the latest trend based on “Neighborhood” teaming system blending work, meeting, and personal space to create a collaborative workplace environment. In order to maximize flexibility, modular office blocks could be linked to create workplace with floor plate between 2,000sqm to 4,000sqm. Working groups are distributed around shared amenities, atriums and communal space to promote communication.

Inspiration

Concept: A Floating Leaf
The campus masterplan design resembles a Bodhi leaf, emulating leaf veins created open courtyards and view corridors that maximizes the site potential. The resulting design appears like a Bodhi leaf floating on the surface of the Nanhu Lake, embodying the graceful élan of Hangzhou.
