Qingdao Port Tower

The high-rise is being built in a prominent location directly adjacent to the new cruise ship terminal at Wharf No. 6 in the Qingdao Port. The iconic triangular volume references and takes its orientation from the neighboring building, thus creating a strong architectural unit on an otherwise heterogeneous site. Standing on the same building axis, the Qingdao Port Tower is constructed as a vertical counterpoint – like a modern lighthouse – that greets all travelers arriving at the Port of Qingdao. The three facades are designed so that employees can enjoy an unobstructed view of their surroundings from all office floors. The shape of the tower volume and the organization of the ground plan are also based on the client’s specifications, including large office spaces in the lower section and reduced room depth on the upper stories. The office levels are enhanced by attractive green spaces and sky gardens.
