China, Hunnan Airport Park

Project type
Competition 2003

The design for hunnan airport project is determined by three main "themes": The public plazas opening up towards the corners provide a hughe entrance area in front of the buildings. From every building there is an direct access to the park in the center. The water basin forms a green island. The stepped back building shape combines human scale with the spectacular high rise buildings. Combining the horizontal base with the vertical tower gives an association to the majestic of a "Sphinx". Inside the main tower the use of daylight is optimized by the three storey high skylobbies and wintergardens. Every floor is reached by the sunlight. All apartments have an own loggia formed like a wintergarden faced to the south.
