Mixed-use complex by Peter Pichler Architecture, Taiping, China
The urban development is the first for Peter Pichler Architecture in China. Spanning an area of 100,000 square meters and housing several towers, the project comprises a boutique hotel, residential apartments, offices, retail options, parks, and parking lots. Its wood façade is inspired by ancient vernacular Chinese architecture. Each tower has ellipse-shaped rings on each of its floors. These rings change based on the orientation and program, according to the design firm.
