Tianjin Airport Industrial Park Central Business District

Located near the Tianjin International Airport, this 16-hectare mixed-use commercial district features office, retail, restaurants, and commercial spaces, two hotels, and Green Roof park spaces over the garage. All parking is accommodated in an underground garage that required the excavation of the entire site. Site circulation is restricted to pedestrians; the only vehicular access allowed is for emergency vehicles. A water feature and “red ribbon” pathway inspired by the traditional Chinese “Ribbon Dance” activates the park space. Many of the perimeter office buildings are design specifically to allow manufacturing on the first floor by increasing the floor to floor distance, providing hardened concrete floors, and access for trucks at the walls facing the street. In general, the exterior design of the buildings is a traditional “tripartite” design to be compatible with the traditional aesthetic of neighboring structures.
