About Wacai Headquarters 오피스 빌딩
와차이(Wacai) 본사는 중국 항저우에 위치한 오피스 빌딩으로, 친환경적이고 지속 가능한 구조물로 설계되었다. 원통형 형태는 남북 방향으로 배치되어 있으며 고층 정원들이 서로 엮여 있다. 이러한 형태는 자연광을 업무 공간 내부로 끌어들여 인공조명 사용을 줄인다. 부지 전반에 걸쳐 조성된 광범위한 조경 공간은 탄소 배출을 상쇄하고 주변 온도를 조절하는 데 도움을 주어 공조 시스템에 대한 의존도를 낮춘다. 또한 원형 평면은 벽체, 바닥, 지붕 자재를 더 적게 사용하므로 생태발자국을 줄여준다.

- 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
