The new headquarters for the Qi-Anxin Pazhou Corporation will be built on Pazhou Island in the Pearl River at the center of Guangzhou. The design is based on the concept of a "vertical city". Inspired by the peaks of the Hua Shan, terraced open spaces at various levels, with large atriums, offer the employees facilities for breaks and recreation. In addition, these spaces house eateries, medical centers, meeting points for the members of staff, as well as sports facilities – all with a view of the skyline. The idea is to create an urban center above ground and a modern working environment.
