Client: Xi'an Tengyun Real Estate Company Limited
The Taikoo Li Xi'an Office project in Xi'an, China, aims to create a diverse cultural workspace in keeping with its location in the historic cultural area of Anren Fang and the Xiaoyan Pagoda within the layout of the Tang Dynasty's Chang'an City and adjacent to the renowned royal temple, Jianfu Temple.
Originally an unused school practice field, paving blocks were reclaimed from the site's archaeological excavations, and historically significant bricks and tiles were utilized in the space design, telling the story of the urban renewal plan's original intention and significance.
The design of outdoor gardens balances aesthetics, functionality, ecology and cultural impact, injecting vitality into the surrounding community and city while creating sustainable development value.
Design highlights
The interior design prioritizes employee comfort and health, through thoughtful space layouts and a biophilic design with a wealth of greenery and large windows that flood the space with natural light and bring the outside in. The designers also infused artistic elements into different functional areas, such as art installations on feature walls and the selection of flooring materials, allowing employees to relax and find inspiration during work breaks. This office is the first in Northwest China to achieve WELL Platinum Certification
