Citic Bank Headquarters, Hangzhou, China |
|
Foster and Partners' headquarters tower for Citic Bank has a prominent location in Hangzhou, on a main axis through a new central business district being constructed next to the Qian Jiang River. The site is also adjacent to one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks – the distinctive golden sphere of the Intercontinental Hotel.
A-frame canopy stretches 72 meters across the ground, in order to create a dramatic entrance experience. This leads to the heart of a diamond-shaped central atrium, which rises up through the full height of the 20-storey tower and helps to encourage natural ventilation during the mid-seasons. Sky-gardens line the perimeter of the upper floors and a generous winter garden with a mezzanine level accommodates VIP club and meeting spaces at the top of the building. |
