The Design

About Wacai Headquarters Immeuble de bureaux

Le siège social de Wacai est un immeuble de bureaux situé à Hangzhou, en Chine, conçu comme une structure verte et durable. Sa forme cylindrique est orientée nord-sud et s'entrelace avec des jardins suspendus. Cette volumétrie fait pénétrer la lumière naturelle dans les espaces de travail, réduisant ainsi le recours à l'éclairage artificiel. De vastes aménagements paysagers répartis sur l'ensemble du site contribuent à compenser les émissions de carbone et à réguler la température ambiante, diminuant la dépendance aux systèmes de climatisation. Le plan circulaire nécessite en outre moins de matériaux pour les murs, les planchers et la toiture, ce qui réduit l'empreinte écologique du bâtiment.

Production Technology: In order to create an original design, we boldly use the image of ancient Chinese coins that symbolize wealth and finance as the basis of vertical architectural design, and connect the public's Internet as a platform for our landscape design. The combination of these two elements creates a synergy between the interpersonal relationship and finance through the network.
Design Challenge: It was a challenge as the client have expectations of a modern building structure yet task the design team to base the concept to the company identity and the vicinity cultural and historical background. Though we manage to satisfied the client in the end with the ancient coins concept.
Inspiration: The company is primarily make up of two main component:
1. Finance
2. Network
Thus our main design concept will revolved around these two main component which will give the urban landscape and company office building a unique identity.
Financial services are the basic components to the company's growth. While the rise of network in recent years provide a bigger platform for the company to connect with the masses. Thus when we integrate these highlights into our architectural design, they become the manifestication of our urban landscapes.
Project Duration: January 2018 to August 2018 in Hangzhou China
Operation Flow: The cylindrical shape of the building prevents strong winds from lifting the roof structure out of the building. There are dozens of interconnected points in the circular building. These connecting structural parts make the building have a unique combination of flexibility and strength quality, making it safer in bad weather conditions.
Circular buildings use fewer wall, floor and roof hence achieving a smaller ecological footprint and more living space at lower cost. In addition, the contact area of the building related to bad weather is reduced thus improving the hardness and energy efficiency.
