Gong Yuan Building, Office Towers and Press Center, Hangzhou, China

The Gongyuan office building is located in the immediate vicinity of the Huanglong Stadium in Hangzhou. It functions as a representative entrance to the sports centre on the opposite side of the street and is simultaneously a cornerstone in the prospering district of the city. Two groups of highrise buildings, each with a striking, tripartite division, occupy the north and south ends of the property. An enclosed green courtyard bordered on the east and west sides by colonnades, stretches between the two towers. A four level press centre in the form of a glass rotunda pierces the northern end of the western colonnade.
