Located in Chengdu’s prosperous and rapidly expanding business district, the innovative office building design for Pinncale One by Make Architects will be an impressive addition to the growing urban landscape, known as the financial hub of Western China. Currently under construction, the new international Grade-A office tower forms part of the Chengdu Daci Temple Cultural and Commercial Complex, a mixed-use development by Sino-Ocean Land and Swire Properties. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Pinnacle One is representative of Make’s work in China. The building offers generously proportioned spaces with high levels of flexibility throughout. The unique floor layout locates the lifts and stairs on both sides of the building, providing a large, open floor plan that is rarely seen in office buildings. The design features a 130-metre long stainless steel canopy and 30-metre high atriums covered by glass roofs. The sleek aluminum and glass exterior ensures an energy efficient building as well as providing occupants with spectacular views of some of the city’s landmarks. Through these striking design elements, Pinnacle One will set new standards for office architecture in Chengdu.
