Wellbeing-focused design created for Jiaozi Park office complex in the Chinese city of Chengdu
Chapman Taylor has created a flexible, biophilic and wellbeing-friendly workplace design concept for Jiaozi Park in the Chinese City of Chengdu.
The new office complex includes a diverse range of amenities and functions, with all spaces designed to be capable of easy adaptation as requirements change. There is also a bright and spacious reception foyer and a modern conference centre which is designed to encourage communication and collaboration.
The elegant and modern architecture is simple, bright and transparent, with the external lighting system creating an attractive night-time landmark on the local skyline. The building height and volume is carefully judged to complement the other buildings in the surrounding district, while sustainable technology is employed to ensure that the building responds well to Chengdu’s unique climate.
Inside, the building is designed to a human scale, offering a light-filled, pleasant and high-quality space in which users can feel relaxed and at home. The high-specification and flexible office spaces are designed with smart building systems in mind, allowing the building’s users to have greater localised control of the environment in which they work.
Biophilic design features play a therapeutic role in the design, creating an environment which is calming, uplifting and stress/anxiety-reducing. Providing green spaces, water features, abundant plants and natural materials helps to reduce the development’s carbon footprint and regulate the temperature of buildings, as well as improving productivity and contentment among the building's users.
There is a fluid transition between the building’s interiors, which include plants and water features as well as panoramic views across the surrounding area, and the external public spaces, which include landscaped green spaces in which the building’s occupants can relax, socialise and recharge their batteries. The combination of smart, flexible and green workspaces and the beautiful landscaping strategy makes Jiaozi Park an ideal home for wellbeing-conscious businesses and staff.
