Yancheng Keyue International Business Center

As the starting project of Yancheng High speed Railway New City, the Keyue International Business Center has recently been completed and delivered for use. The project is enclosed by two five story buildings and will become a highly iconic commercial landmark in the area.

The project is adjacent to high-speed rail and expressway ramps, and the design adopts a rational and controllable curve shape as a response to the urban texture. The building expands horizontally, with a large-scale gradient curve of the main entrance canopy, forming the first impression of the high-speed rail and main road.

The two buildings are arranged in a semi enclosed layout, forming multi-level private courtyards within the site. Terrace spaces of different scales can be enjoyed in each office area, with each floor having its own terrace. Under the guidance of architects, roof design involves collaboration among various disciplines, integrating unfavorable factors such as equipment pipelines, outdoor units, and solar panels to create a continuous open space of approximately 1000 square meters for users.

The landscape and interior of the project are designed in an integrated manner to ensure the unity of design techniques and create opportunities for indoor and outdoor interaction. The office lobby adopts a column free vertical groove curtain wall system, which maximizes the integration of courtyard landscape and indoor space.

The interior design continues the architectural techniques, with restrained curves shaping key spaces such as lobbies, elevator halls, and exhibition halls. The concise styling technique highlights the texture of raw materials such as stainless steel, rock slab, GRG, etc. Both lobbies have been treated with ventilation, and the GRG shaped grooves on the ceiling not only accommodate the light strips, but also conceal the smoke exhaust louvers.

The curtain wall design is divided horizontally based on its form characteristics, with a 2800mm span to enhance the horizontal extension effect of the building. Compared to the traditional curtain wall division of around 1500mm, the landscape view is maximized.

The construction adopts a modular approach, with perforated aluminum decorative strips set between layers to cover the hanging windows and provide a luminous cavity for floodlighting. The water ripple stainless steel ceiling forms a diffuse reflection interface, highlighting the volume handover relationship while enhancing the high-end business atmosphere of the first floor.

As another EPC full process service project, the architectural team of this project undertakes various professional design tasks from conceptual building scheme to building expansion, curtain wall refinement design, fine decoration scheme design, signage scheme design, landscape scheme design, and so on.

The integrated design process is led by the scheme architect, reducing communication links in the handling of interface handover positions such as curtain wall and fine decoration, curtain wall and landscape, etc., to avoid rework in secondary design. At the same time, the comprehensive design of the entire profession also provides architects with the opportunity to fully implement the initial concept with high completion.
