Located in Foshan Sanlongwan, a high-end intelligent manufacturing and innovation gathering area, JOYY Industrial Internet Headquarters Project offers a vibrant commercial area as well as a quiet retreat encompassing sequestered offices and serviced apartments laden with green, open spaces.

With a total planned area of circa 77,700 m², the site is divided into two plots. Plot A is surrounded by water and elevated highways, with superb urban display, whereas plot B is a compact area that overlooks a green riverside landscape to its north.

Inspired by the company’s corporate culture, the design masterplanning illustrates the idea of a place that draws in talent while its creative energy emanates outwards, expressed in the functional layout and architectural form.

Plot A is comprised of the headquarters and supporting functions. Based on the principles of TOD, the design layout is expressed with a core traffic space around which other functions are distributed. The building is composed of five radial office building modules, extending to the riverside from a central open-air plaza. The towers are externally connected by a crescent-shaped volume, while the inner centre is connected with a peripheral courtyard and corridor.

Plot B extends the design concept in a compact layout. It contains an apartment tower, an office tower, and four single-family office buildings of differing height; each attached with a retail block underneath. The design creates a multi-dimensional green urban landscape, forming a high-efficiency and vibrant office park.
