In February 2017, Hangzhou Gateway, a striking new office tower in Hangzhou, China, was completed.

Designed by JDS Architects, the 16-storey building incorporates two massive voids that are cut diagonally through it. This ‘H-shape’ creates an arched pathway for pedestrians beneath, and a stepped park on top.

The diagonal pathway is intended to link both sides of the building, with a historical market hall, currently undergoing renovation, on one, and a public green space on the other.

With a concave plan, the walkway divides the lower floors of the 23,600 sq. m building into two, creating quarter-circle plans. The curved wall above the walkway includes protruding windows.

The main structural supports are provided by two vertical circulation spaces which also act to brace the lower floor plates. These two cores are spanned by the middle floor plates like a simple beam, which creates a stable platform for the upper floors.

On top, the void in the roof creates a green park with a series of stepped terraces, a feature that the architects say is a reference to the ancient Chinese rice-field landscapes. The opening is oriented so as to provide office workers with maximum sunlight and views. The staggered terraces also acts as a rainwater retainer, which reuses water to assist with the building’s cooling.
