The Aedas and Do Design consortium has won the competition for the New Hope Central China Regional Headquarters at the riverside of Yangtze River in Wuhan, China.
The project is perched at the northern end of the riverside business district. It overlooks the Erqi Yangtze River Bridge and is surrounded by convenient transportation network. In a superior geographical location, the New Hope Central China Regional Headquarters peers across the riverside greenery of excellent landscape view. Marked by its elegant flow lines that correspond to the surrounding Yangtze, the high-rise allegorically represents Wuhan as a vivacious cultural capital.
Interpreting with contemporary architectural language, the design draws inspiration from the ancient guqin tune of “High Mountains and Flowing Water”, which is about friendship and community bond through music and art in Chinese culture. The 250-metre main tower and a 200-metre auxiliary tower are located along the site’s east frontage. The main tower houses office and a five-star hotel, enjoys a panoramic view of the Yangtze River, is connected to the auxiliary office tower through a retail podium. As a result of strategic angle maneuvering, the three high-end residences on the west side are afforded maximum river view.
