Chapman Taylor designing Shandong Energy Jinan International Trade Industrial Park
Chapman Taylor is proud to lead the architectural design for the prestigious Shandong Energy Jinan International Trade Industrial Park in Shandong, Jinan, China. The project is recognised as a key project in both Jinan City and the Shandong Province directory and is vital in advancing regional economic growth. The project aims to establish a national hub for innovation in the energy industry through a cutting-edge digital trade integration platform while promoting the sector’s digital transformation.
The park covers approximately 40,900m2 and has a total above-ground construction area of 167,800m2. It features two striking 172.5-meter-tall gateway twin towers along Jing Shi Road. These towers, complemented by multi-functional podium buildings, will house facilities such as a conference centre, sports centre, banquet hall, exhibition centre, and more. The design harmonises traditional Chinese architectural elements, such as the symbolic "Pagoda," with sleek modern aesthetics, creating a landmark symbolising innovation and cultural heritage.
Architectural excellence
The twin towers stand as a grand urban gateway in the eastern CBD, blending symmetry, verticality, and elegance. The façade design uses a refined combination of glass and stone, tapering vertically to enhance the skyline's aesthetic. The interiors embrace a philosophy of “Li (礼), Zun (尊), He (和), and Rong (融),” seamlessly integrating Chinese tradition with contemporary design.
Landscape and lighting
Adjacent to Lotus Mountain, the project introduces a "mountain-water ritual axis" landscape concept, emphasising harmony between architecture and nature. The green and sustainable design integrates the urban ecosystem with diverse outdoor spaces, including multi-level terraces and vibrant plant configurations. Floodlighting enhances the corporate image at night, showcasing Shandong Energy's commitment to green energy. The lighting system adapts to seasonal changes, using advanced technology to create dynamic visuals inspired by China’s 24 solar terms.
Driving the future of energy
As construction progresses, the park will catalyse industrial growth and attract global enterprises in the energy trade. The development will enhance Shandong Energy Group’s global influence in the energy sector by integrating international trade resources and leveraging supply chain innovations.
With its innovative and sustainable approach, the Shandong Energy Jinan International Trade Industrial Park is set to become a beacon for the future of energy, business, and urban development.
