Zhejiang Fortune Financial Center is a conceptual design in the heart of Qianjiang new city in Hangzhou, China, the capital of Zhejiang province. The project consists of two high-rise office towers and a three-story podium for retail and commercial use. A parking garage, supermarket and maintenance rooms are located on three underground floors to be connected to a planned subway station.
The main tower is 53 stories (216 meters tall) and the second tower is 24 stories (98.7 meters tall). The design represents the perfect combination of contemporary architectural language with traditional architecture rich in its cultural heritage. The main tower, is composed of two major visual massings: a soaring vertical form featuring a curved glass curtain wall; and a tapered hexagonal shape created by the horizontal window mullions. The second tower uses mostly horizontal window bands. The dynamic horizontal shape and the flowing lines create a distinctive divergence with the main tower. A curved aluminum wall on the second tower is shaped to embrace and illuminate the verticality of the main tower.
The centrally located, three-level retail podium axially connects the citys government center with a bus terminal and future subway station. Outdoor public spaces are created to encourage street use. The main entry incorporates a terraced sunken plaza for cultural performances and provides open space for daily use. The ecological garden recreates the areas natural habitat and exhibits the diverse natural species of the region. An interpretive trail winds its way down to the serene waterways of the Hangzhou River.
