HENN has taken first prize in the international competition to design the Haikou Tower in China. Among the participants were Wilkinson Eyre, Broadway Malyan, Zaha Hadid Architects and RMJM/Alsop. The masterplan for the central business district of Haikou thus marks a major milestone in a series of recent designs by HENN.

Haikou Towers are projected to become the heart of the new Central Business District of Haikou, the capital city of Hainan, a tropical island in the South China Sea. The masterplan comprises an ensemble of 10 Towers ranging from 150m to 450m height with an overall building area of 1.5 million sq m.
