The commercial work place environment and its support of changing modality especially in China, is expressed in the realisation of the China Mobile Centre, a project that was won by JPW in an international design competitive process. Its fundamental premise that develops its socially engaged and environmentally advanced workplace design, reflects the company’s core values of connectivity and technological innovation.

The project tower form with its gently curving facades and horizontally extended podium invokes traditional Chinese roof forms, and is delivered by contemporary high performance façade systems incorporating screening devices and ventilated dual facades.  Workplace health and wellbeing is fundamental to the planning approach.  Landscaped balconies to the north and south facades extend from the work place areas to provide staff with naturally day lit breakout spaces.

Innovative approaches to public interaction are central to this development, with business halls and research centre being publicly accessible to foster creative collaboration through shared facilities and exhibitions.  The incorporation of landscaped courtyards to the podium building structure and roofed recreational break out spaces for the staff allow year round use.

The project achieves the nation’s highest 3 star green energy rating, through its environmental initiatives whilst maintaining tight budget controls, through local material selection and control of construction quality.
