Located in a new development zone in the Western Chinese city of Chengdu, the new mixed-use building by Aedas is designed for hi-tech and sci-tech industries. Known as Vanke Tianfu Cloud City, the project is inspired by the tech cloud as it aims to provide maximum connectivity and therefore enhance productivity within the mixed-use building.

The development overlooks a panoramic view of the  Xinglong Lake and will provide easy access to an upcoming subway line and station.

The project does not only include offices but also residential units, a hotel, exhibition venues and retail and market spaces. To achieve the main goal of enhancing connectivity within the mixed use building, a central green axis connects the 4 plots of land in the development.This green-axis occupies over 54,000 square meters and also provides a safe, pleasant pedestrian route.
The project?s northern part is mostly for the offices such as Grade-A office, SOHO towers, and eco-office. Meanwhile, the schools and residential districts are located in the southern part of the development. However, the masterplan still manages to connect all these zones together within a harmonious scheme.

To make use of the lake view, the landscape-filled terraces are employed in several units in the mixed-use building, overlooking picturesque views of the Xinglong Lake.

Additionally, the architects tackled the environmental problem of heat island effect through sky gardens and green roofs.
