Integrated Design Associates was commisioned by Franshion Development for the design of Tower B1. Reaching a total height of 180 metres and a total building area of 60,000 square metres, B01 will be the tallest building in the Hui Shan project site.
The tower consists of 32 floors above ground, with 30 floors dedicated to office space. The office floors are divided into 6 clusters, each cluster consists of 5 floors and a central sky garden atrium.The office zones surround the central sky garden atrium, thereby benefiting from the light-filled space in the center of the tower. Internal staircases and escalators link the sky garden atrium to each office floor and enhance the communication and co-ordination of work between different departments within a cluster. In plan, the tower gradually expands outward as it reaches its full height of 180 metres. The gradual expansion of the tower provides larger floor plates and an increasingly significant central sky garden atrium at the top of the building.
The expanding tower design emphasizes the verticality of the central core and celebrates the role of the sky garden atrium as a place for communal and public interaction. The north-south orientation of the atrium affords ample sunlight, views toward the Huang Pu River, and visible connections to the Pudong Financial District.
