Shanghai
IBP Oil Company Headquarters
Hotel and “CNOOC” Corporate HQ

Located between on the shore of the Suzhou Creek, near the Hongqiao International Airport, the Shanghai International Business Park is given a strong and unique identity. The buildings form a rim around a large courtyard. In this way urban influences like noise are kept out and the inner landscaped courtyard is protected.

The building describes a sculpture of individual buildings, cut off from the bodies, and by a band at the base connected. It is a landscape by its sharp edges outward boundaries and by its softness opens inwards. The band at the base connects the headquarters of the CNOOC, an office building and a five-star hotel together. All so different functions blur into a single unit.
