HPP wins urban design competition for Taizhou, Financial District.
Taizhou, a city with a population of 6 million to the north west of Shanghai, is to have a new Financial and Banking Centre. HPP are to design a new, dynamic and sustainable development of just under 470,000 square metres of gross built area on a site measuring 11.5 hectares. The design, one that fully respects the urban context of the site, is the sole non-Chinese entry in the competition organised by the Taizhou Planning Office.
The new Financial District will be arranged along a treed boulevard running centrally North to South through the development, which will function as a visual axis linking it to the Government buildings in the north and thereby also defining the orientation of the individual buildings. Based on the European principles of neighbourhood development, these individual buildings present as homogenous structures with natural stone facades and are of varying heights. Two 47-storey towers face the site, thus forming the entrance and in this way mark the transition from the old town to the new urban development of Taizhou.
