Landsea Square is located in CBD of New City of Hexi, Nanjing. It is an integrated building complex consisting of a deluxe office building, hotel and business plaza with a total floor area of 215,903 square meters. The two-story basement is arranged with garage and technical facilities and a civil air-defense construction. The program consists of one 228-meter high, 50-story office building on the southwest side of the site, one 80-meter high, 23-story hotel on the northeast side of the site, and 5-story building for commercial and parking uses.
The design principle for this building complex is elegance and simplicity. The appearance is dignified and an enrichment for the whole surroundings. The identity of this super highrise building is characterized by its glazed and shiny appearance and the slender and elegant proportions. It will be structured by curved glass walls, which differ in height and slope and create a unique bamboo like impression. Further accentuation will be reached by three sky–gardens in the south, each four floors high.
The High-rise Complex in Nanjing Hexi New City will contain the most up-to-date knowledge and experience in recent international architecture. The final layout was developed to ensure the highest quality. The architecture of the building should form a lasting impression.
OCE, since 2007 German Consulting Engineers (Shanghai) Ltd worked on this project.
