The Design
About Wacai Headquarters オフィスビル
挲財（Wacai）本社は、中国・杭州に建つオフィスビルであり、グリーンでサステナブルな建築として設計されました。円筒形のフォルムは南北方向に配置され、高層階に設けられた庭園と織り合わされています。この形状によって自然光がオフィス空間へと導かれ、人工照明の使用を削減します。敷地全体に広がる豊かな緑地は、二酸化炭素排出量の相殺と周囲の温度調整に寄与し、空調システムへの依存を低減します。また、円形プランは壁・床・屋根の材料使用量を抑え、より小さなエコロジカル・フットプリントを実現しています。

- 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. - Team Members
