As a prominent addition to Hangzhou’s new Qianjiang Century Town development that has emerged as a bustling center of commerce, the building serves as a gateway to this part of the city. The high-rise and adjacent 10-story building are situated to provide pathways for pedestrians to walk between and around the structures, traversing a tranquil public space with ponds and lush vegetation.
