The Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Newrgy Hub, for which Benoy has provided masterplanning, architectural, and interior design services, has now entered the façade construction and interior fit-out phase.
Located within Zhoupu’sIntegrated Circuit Material and Equipment Innovation Park, China’s first hub for industry clusters in the materials and equipment innovation sector, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Newrgy Hub (Plot 41 – 01, Unit 03, Zhoupu Town) spans 200,000 square meters in the Zhoupu Wisdom Industrial Zone, located in the southwestern part of Zhangjiang Science City.
The project consists of eight high-rise office towers and three multi-storey service and retail buildings, with a building height of approximately 60 metres.
The architectural design of Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Newrgy Hub sets the tone for the entire park, using a simple vertical language to create a rhythm of high-rise towers, each with its own distinctive design.
The overall aesthetic adopts a sleek, technology-driven approach, with uniquely differentiated elements and human-scale dynamic spaces, including bridges, landscaping, and plazas. This multi-level spatial experience fosters a pleasant, green, intelligent eco-office environment that blends technology with nature, enhancing the daily experience for those working and living in the area.
The interior design, encompassing both commercial interior design and workplace interiors, draws inspiration from Zhangjiang Hi-Tech’s pioneering chip manufacturing industry.
Two key concepts — an ‘integrated core sphere’ and a ‘digital city’ — shape the design. Distinctive nodal spaces align with the overall spatial pattern of the interior, while the use of materials like gypsum board combined with metal grilles, and iridescent aluminium panels creates a sense of fluidity, mirroring the rapid movements of information code within a computer chip, infusing the space with a dynamic, technology-inspired energy.
Upon completion, the hub will serve as a sales centre for Integrated Circuit (IC) design, material, and equipment innovation companies, alongside the headquarters of a software company, and IC material firms from Japan and South Korea.
The development will help absorb industrial spillover from the Shanghai IC Design Industrial Park, increasing the concentration of high-end industries and promoting the high-quality growth of the sector.
The project is expected to be completed by June 2025.
