Hong Kong – Zhenghong Property Air
Harbour Office Project, designed by
Aedas, comprises three interconnecting
office buildings in Zhengzhou, the
provincial capital of Henan Province and
a major transportation hub in central
China.
The design scheme delivers a
straightforward solution by laying three
office blocks along a narrow site, catering
to government, corporate tenants and
the client. The blocks are connected by
shared facilities and rooftop terraces to
deliver three-dimensional vertical urban
spaces.
The building form is inspired by the
famed Yellow River which winds like a
dragon. The 45-de gree-angled layout provides an outlook that
resembles the winding course of the river, and at the same time
maximising both views towards Zhenghong Central Park in the
north and distance away from the residential blocks in the south.
Such orientation also creates more open spaces on ground level
