Shimao canal financial headquarters D1&A8 office design proj

Sitting in the Canal Business District in Beijing, Fortune Harbor is set to become the leading business hub at a global scale. It holds a 35,000 square metre riverside park and is planned to leverage the park conditions to create detached office buildings of the future. Being diverse and flexible, the design aims at boosting employee happiness and corporate productivity by creating a community-based working environment. Customized office design caters to business features. For financial companies, the design hopes to highlight the international and professional elements. For Internet companies who stands at the forefront of technology, the design is futuristic with technological elements and comfortable garden-like office. Designers have taken advantage of the building itself, leaving space for skylights and patios, and introducing the concept of “vertical greening” through the atrium, which extends the internal and external ecology and blends the space with surrounding environment perfectly. The design places a huge emphasis on people-oriented functions, maximizes the use of the space, introduces smart offices to enhance efficiency and streiks a balance between people and space.
