West Zhejiang Agro-Tech Industry Park

West Zhejiang Agro-Tech Industry Park is a public development by the Qujiang District of Quzhou City, a rising industry and business spotlight in the Zhejiang province in eastern China. By providing 132,000㎡ of headquarter, rental office, government-subsidized housing, and community retail spaces, the project aspires to be the new engine to Qujiang’s industrial and economic growth.



Drawing inspiration from the mountainous natural landscape in Qujiang, the project design lends itself as an analogue to mountains and clouds with its clean, geometric forms of staggering towers and cascading platforms. The three towers, together with an adjacent existing District Youth Center building, form a grand, symmetrical composition framing the entry from the eastern residential zone to the western Dongfang Park, completing the park’s role as the central axis of leisure and amenity spaces overlooked by the District Government building to its north.



The Industry Park’s podium, housing its retail, F&B, and community programs, defies the opaque monolithic stereotype of conventional retail podiums by unfolding itself into a series of cascading, interconnected occupiable platforms. The horizontal expanse contrast with the verticality of the three towers, while uniting them to provide for outdoor civic activities. An elevated exhibition space, nicknamed “Cloud Deck”, floats at the project’s center to frame the project’s focal point. The Cloud Deck functions as the living room of the city and overlooks the outdoor theatre underneath with its circular, 360-degree gallery.



The project has been awarded through a public competition and is currently in the process of planning approval acquisition.
