About The Entry

YAOJIANG · WENXI MINGZHU is located at the heart of the Zijingang area in Xihu District, opposite Zijingang Campus of Zhejiang University to the west, separated by Zijinghua North Road. The district is known for its strong cultural atmosphere, making it a rare cultural-business commercial project in the main urban area. To the east, the property faces the Pujiagang River, which offers both picturesque river views and a peaceful setting. The site is part of the public facilities within the YAOJIANG WENDINGYUAN development, surrounded by high-end residential neighborhoods and abundant educational resources. The project consists of three frame buildings, each with five stories above ground and one underground, covering 9,742 m2 and a total construction area of 21,755.91 m2. The buildings are arranged in an L-shape along Zijinghua North Road to ensure an open and transparent layout. Designed as a business office, the architecture blends elements of meditation, seclusion, and elegance, employing methods like Bezier triangles and meticulous cutting. Instead of a grand plaza, the landscape features layered greenery and pocket gardens, creating a serene and understated business garden atmosphere. The combination of river views, street greenery, and building setbacks forms a progressive “building - green belt - river” landscape to enhance the overall comfort of the workspace.
