“A company’s headquarters should be seen as an interconnected
ecosystem. Therefore, the design concept is
rooted in the idea of creating symbiosis among multiple environments –people, architecture, and city. The infrastructure should be built such that the three can
interact and thrive.”
Inspired by the mountainous region’s rising and falling topography, the massing of the headquarters takes the form of a rocky summit, symbolising Jinke’s strong and striving enterprising spirit. The glass curtain walls and aluminum plates create a shimmering gold facade.
The 150 m tall high-rise utilises a flexible layout that includes an atrium, a void and open stairwells, to ensure vertical interconnectivity. Ample communal areas including a sky garden, eco terrace, and community
office are created for socialising and leisure activities.
The podium design deviates from a conventional retail layout – forgoing enclosed pockets and 12-hour operations in favor of a dynamic entertainment arena, unencumbered by spatial and time constraints. The retreating podiums parallel the rows of winding hills and blend with the greenspace to blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors.
