The whole project stand on a podium that has several shared spaces for the workers and allows the direct connection between the buildings thanks to bridges and ramps.
The facades are designed with metallic profiles that give a shading effect using different distances between them and defining so the production volumes.
The facades without the metallic profiles use the concept of the “light box” and they are made with U-Glass; in these case they correspond to the offices and managing areas.
Under every “light cube” the architects subtracted a volume from the podium to make entrances.
The total area of the project is around 60,000sqm. The new development is going to be a new landmark for the city of Guangdong and a icon for the company brand.

Cosmos Architecture believes in a socially engaged architecture. This approach is nourished by the numerous worldwide achievements made over the last year, and by a constant attention to the quality of the spaces and new uses.

Open to architects, urban planners, landscape designers, artists, writers, philosophers, etc., Cosmos architecture is a think tank for urban, architectural and artistic reflections.
