Hangzhou New World Guili Center

Twin sculpted towers rising over a retail podium — a fluted unitized envelope that gives the skyline a pair of soft curved, silver ribbed silhouettes. Located in Qianjiang Century City, Hangzhou, the project is a landmark 250m super high-rise twin-tower complex integrating Grade A office, luxury residence and boutique hotel. Baoye Facade undertook the facade design and installation of the towers.
