SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Beiqijia Business Park project is a 1,300,000 SF, large mid-rise mixed-use development dominated by the office program. The site is located on the outskirts of Beijing and is the first major Class A project in the emerging and fast growing urban area of Beijing. This development had to establish context and set a benchmark for the future of the entire urban area. The project brief called for a strong architectural presence and sense of place, while also being economically successful. The project is a nucleus for the emerging urban environment, designed to promote robust social networks while also establishing connections between people, nature and technology. We strived to achieve both elegant simplicity and diversity in architecture. The project massing was split into sculptural volumes and arranged as a composition of large office and small office compartments. These volumes are interconnected but have separate individual core elements. Each building volume could be sold or leased as a separate workplace space. An internal retail atrium connects large office buildings and accommodates a variety of retail and amenity programs. The design approach proved to be extremely effective, as the developer sold the entire office program before construction broke ground. Given the current challenges in the real estate market in China, this was a special achievement. In fact, this project became one of the most successful developments for our client.
