COFCO Creative Plaza
Architectural creativity: This project focuses on creating a new industrial park with a sense of fashion, technology and ecology, with a modern and simple design style as the main expression form. How to stand out from the chaotic environment around the base, lead the regional fashion and sort out the urban texture is the main problem to be solved in this program.
Factory part: the building form is richly staggered, and the overall shape is simple and atmospheric. The design technique of stacking square bodies is used to break the independence of the original three factory buildings and increase the interaction between them to form a unique architectural image. The design takes four floors as a unit and staggers them to form a very impactful combination of blocks. The alternating dark red and light gray tiles on the façade enrich the color of the park while weakening the oppressive feeling of the building, making it a friendly, ecological and characteristic neighborhood building. The long horizontal windows increase the sense of speed of the building, enhance the impact of the building and strengthen the period of the building.
The dormitory part: the building is laid out in L-shaped form, and the design technique of stacking design is extended, using a flexible combination of three colors: dark red, dark gray and beige, in an attempt to break the dullness of the original form. The three colors appear alternately, using the Mondrian color block combination principle, forming a rich staggered and coordinated color combination relationship on the plate form, which is in harmony with the overall park while maintaining the intimacy of the dormitory building.
LOFT office: abandoning the traditional office form in the past, pursuing green ecological garden office experience. The independent form makes it light on all sides, ventilated and energy-saving, and in zero contact with nature. The façade echoes the overall park, simple and atmospheric, and the staggered arrangement of the terrace provides a place for people to communicate and a stage for interaction between the parks, increasing the vitality of the park.
