About Shuibei International Center Edificio de oficinas

El Shuibei International Center es una torre de oficinas con un centro comercial en su basamento, situada en un parque industrial. La torre alcanza los 197,5 metros de altura y cuenta con 43 plantas sobre rasante y cuatro niveles de sótano. Su forma se inspira en el bambú, y una composición segmentada unifica las distintas funciones. A lo largo del basamento y de la torre se disponen múltiples jardines elevados, que generan espacios habitables destinados a usos diversos y exposiciones. Una escalinata ajardinada conforma un espacio expositivo para eventos culturales sobre el basamento y difumina el límite entre el interior y el exterior.

Production Technology: The curtain wall of the tower adopts the unit type glass window, and the metal curtain wall of the podium adopts the slotted curtain wall, and fully optimizes the flat surface, so as to save the cost.
Design Challenge: This project is located in high density neighborhood, with multifunction programs. The challenge was to carefully tackle all the limitations and explore new ways to fulfill a sustainable design. The project is very unique in functions, aesthetic and economical senses. Podium curved facade is quite a challenge to be built. This is a ‘one of’ iconic building which will truly represent for the district identity.
Inspiration: The overall shape of the building originates from the “bamboo” of the totem of Chinese traditional culture, which means its noble character. The “one” shape of the podium, the “two-piece” shape of the tower, and the “three” level bamboo section of the tower symbolize the “one in life, two in three, three in all” of Taoism, forming the heaven, earth and man, that is, the three-stage structure of the tower.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2015 and finished in September in 2020.
Operation Flow: The layout of the tower plans are designed focusing on the best views while minimizing the shadows casted on neighboring buildings. With flexibility in mind, the tower core was designed to be able to be divided into 3 different lift lobbies serving three different tower zones. This allows tenants to rent the tower by sections. Multiple sky gardens spread along the podium and tower, creating habitable spaces and multifunction and exhibition areas.
