CITIC TOWERS
At 165 and 110 meters respectively, the twin office towers of Taihu New Town Parcel 6 will become an architectural gateway for those traveling the Central Zone and greenbelt along Tianegang Boulevard. The 107,500 square meters of Class-A office space and amenities are shaped to elicit the idea of connectivity. By splitting the tower masses and chamfering the corners in a reveal that dances from one side of the form to another, the building takes on the pattern of circuitry, evoking physical connection and speaking to the high tech offices within. A clean façade of linear reveals enhances the appearance of verticality and visually links the towers. At night, accent lighting at the corners draws the eye upward to the crown. Despite the playful activity of the façade language, the towers remain highly efficient, offering premier column-free and flexible office space, and the latest amenities. The signature architectural language of these towers will help to fortify the commercial success of the development and add value to Citic’s real estate portfolio.
