Completed in 2014, this doughnut-shaped building serves as the headquarters for the Chinese broadcaster Phoenix Television, located on the corner of Chaoyang Park, Beijing.

Designed by the architecture studio BIAD UFO, the building is comprised of two bulbous towers with kidney-shaped floorplans that are wrapped in a latticed glass and steel skin. The torus’ volume is set at an angled profile due to one tower being several storeys taller than the other. The architects were inspired by the twisted form of a symbolic Möbius strip.

The outer shell, made up of a stretched web of steel and 3,800 differently sized and detailed glass panels, encloses snaking elevated walkways and staircases that connect offices and studios. Throughout, the interiors are finished with light-coloured flooring, white walls and gridded glazing.

The curving volume peels away from the ground in various areas to open up access routes to an open-air atrium in the centre of the building.
