About Headquarters Complex 综合总部园区

总部综合体是位于中国长沙的一组多功能建筑群。该建筑群坐落于创意传媒科技园内,毗邻浏阳河与园区中轴线。由于场地限高120米,设计以三座塔楼相互连接构成地标,取代单一高塔的做法。三座塔楼包含一栋办公楼和两栋公寓楼,沿河布置,并在空中通过共享平台相连,平台内设有健身房、书吧和小型影院。三层高的花园式办公裙楼使整个建筑群向街道开放。

Design Challenge: The height limit of the site is 120m, which is too low to design a skyscraper as a landmark. As a result, the project is designed as three towers linked by a platform layer in the air to be building group, which also is a unique city landmark.

Considering that the client want a customized high quality headquarter, the porosity of the garden-like podium not only introduces the view of green landscape into the building, but also improves the openness to the city and the streets.
Research: Through a series of design methods, the project attempts to break the absolute barriers between office, residential and street, creates a series of multiple level public spaces, and enhance the publicity of the project.
Inspiration: The project is composed of one office building and two apartment buildings. A platform layer is introduced in the higher levels to provide amenities such as a gym with a swimming pool, a book bar, a small cinema, etc. These amenities are shared between the office and the apartment, creating a linkage between working and dwelling.

The podium of the project consists of three stories of garden office, which will accommodate to working spaces, meeting rooms, reception areas, a product gallery for the five branch companies owned by Sunwalk Construction Group. The porosity of the garden office plan allows plenty of natural light into the interior spaces and ensures the openness of the project to the city.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2019 and still ongoing. It's located in Changsha, China.
Operation Flow: In the high level of the project, a platform layer in the air is innovatively implanted as the sharing air public space to enhance the interaction and lead the circulation between office, hotel and apartment towers. At the street level, a garden-like office is set up in a three-storey podium, while a public visiting road is introduced to run through the garden office, improving the openness to the city and the streets.
