Hangzhou Yuhang Headquarters, China

Cainiao Headquarters consists of a 5-storey office building complemented with a plenitude of communal spaces. Inspired by the space station, the planning emphasizes ‘circulation’ and ‘connectivity’ to reflect Cainiao’s corporate identity and belief. A visitor centre is designed at the entrance as an easy access to workers and visitors. Adjacent to the centre is the main building where the diagonal connections planned inside enhance the accessibility and minimize the walking distance from each other. The design creates a porous development, which enhances circulation and allows natural ventilation passing through.

With full-height glass, workers can enjoy sunlight and landscape view during working time. Numerous meeting rooms are designed and allocated within the whole building to cater different needs. Cantilevered meeting rooms are created to inject vibrancy to the headquarters and provide unobstructed courtyard view. It is seamlessly linked by optimising the cores and elevations, and creates 4 distinctive internal courtyards.

Four courtyards feature different functions, providing open communal spaces for company activities, recreational and wellness. East courtyard connects with the main entrance and includes a multi-function hall for holding large-scale events. South courtyard incorporates lakeside view with sports amenities. West courtyard consists of many F&B outlets and outdoor seats with a terrace, as a place for dining and socialising. North courtyard provides a serene garden that connects with the nature. The four courtyards are interconnected by a central atrium which serves as a communal hub for the headquarters.
