O<\/span>le Scheeren<\/a>\u2019s design for Hong Kong-based New World Development<\/a>\u2019s debut in Hangzhou harmoniously integrates work and living with nature and culture.

Urban Glen seamlessly integrates work, living, and leisure, with a profound respect for nature and culture. As B\u00fcro Ole Scheeren and New World Development\u2019s inaugural project in the vibrant city of Hangzhou, renowned for its UNESCO World Heritage-listed West Lake and often referred to as China\u2019s \u201cparadise on earth\u201d, Urban Glen will expand and elevate the city's business and cultural offerings.<\/p>\r\n

The mixed-use development occupies a pivotal site between West Lake and the Qiantang River and is a key element of the Wangjiang New Town project \u2013 a transformative urban initiative aimed at establishing a dynamic art and cultural destination within the historically rich city. Urban Glen will connect the Cultural Old City Centre with the New Central Business District, further enhancing Hangzhou's position as one of China\u2019s first-tier cities.<\/p>\r\n

The project comprises approximately 800,000 sq ft of offices, hotel and leisure spaces across two towers linked by the central Urban Glen \u2013 a built topography that harmoniously blends urban and natural elements. One tower will feature a luxurious Rosewood Hotel under its global lifestyle brand, while the other will house over 500,000 sq ft of prime offices operated by K11 Atelier, renowned for merging art, culture and people in next-generation workspaces.<\/p>\r\n

Connecting the two towers, the Urban Glen will be an interactive space featuring the synergetic components of both towers such as ballroom, meeting spaces, bars and restaurants, retail, as well as spaces and terraces for the display of art. A network of escalators enables seamless vertical and horizontal circulation between the various functions, while connecting to the central public spine of the wider development and masterplan.<\/p>\r\n

Inspired by the green hilly landscapes synonymous with Hangzhou, Ole Scheeren\u2019s design layers nature throughout the project. A series of cascading stepped volumes create the three-dimensional landscape of the Urban Glen, setting a stage for New World Development\u2019s art and sculpture collection. The weaving terraces and green spaces maximise natural daylight for both towers and simultaneously create a visual connection between exterior and interior spaces. The three-dimensional sculpture garden will be accessible to hotel patrons, office workers, and the general public, fostering a rich cultural experience.<\/p>\r\n

Urban Glen presents two distinct fa\u00e7ade types, with an outer two-dimensional envelope forming a smooth, contextual shell and an inner world with dissolving geometric volumes that abstract the layered contours of Hangzhou\u2019s natural landscape. Together, both form a unique and iconic figure within the cityscape. The urban interface fa\u00e7ade consists of a system of recessed channels and vertical glass strips, achieving depth and elegance whilst defining the boundary of the urban block, while the internal stepping facade breaks into smaller pieces to reveal the green Urban Glen, infusing three-dimensional life at the heart of the development.<\/p><\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
