The JOMOO Headquarters in Xiamen, the first office complex for the biggest sanitaryware firm in China, was completed by OMA.
The new headquarters, which is currently operational and represents a significant turning point in JOMOO's development into a worldwide brand, is situated on the outskirts of the city's major business center.

The structure is situated at the intersection point of two opposing environments: the city's congested skyscrapers on one side and the wooded hills on the other.
The design reinterprets the traditional office typology by embracing this dichotomy through a continuous, sculptural shape that unifies base and tower.

"The completion of JOMOO’s new headquarters is the first in a series of high-rise projects our office has designed in China over the past decade," said Chris van Duijn, OMA Partner.
"Located in rapidly growing cities like Hangzhou, Xiamen, and Shenzhen, these projects explore new connections to their immediate urban context, reinterpreting the prevailing tower typology that has shaped much of China’s recent urban expansion," Van Duijn added.

With a façade that is characterized by white ceramic stripes and a program that combines public and corporate functions, JOMOO Headquarters alludes to both high-tech manufacturing and craft, which are aspects of the company's mission and the past and current cultural traits of Xiamen.
