Hiwell Amber Centre, Designed by UNStudio, Tops Out at 140 meters in Hangzhou

The final steel beam on the office tower of mixed-use Hiwell Amber Centre was placed this month, reaching a height of 140 meters.

The topping out of the four towers marks the completion of the main structure. Hiwell Amber Centre is expected to be completed in phases from 2025-2026. It will cater to the rapid development of the Olympic area's economic, cultural and technological needs.

The towers and podiums of Hiwell Amber Centre are poised to create the modern working and living spaces by focusing on architectural flexibility and diversity and highlighting community creation, health and wellness. With human-centric principles, it will be one of the most accessible mixed-use developments in Hangzhou city, guaranteeing superior indoor air quality and all-weather outdoor micro-environment for social activities. Anticipating the evolving nature of work and living, it emphasizes on innovations, adaptive facilities and 260,000 square meters of flexible, collaborative and vibrant space.

UNStudio’s design for the development redefines the mixed-use urban landscape by introducing a variety of podiums, public and dynamic open spaces, thereby creating a large scale ‘Urban Living Room’ topped by four towers with integrated functions, including quality office, hotel and apartment. The village-like volumes sheltered by the giant canopy, serve as a conference centre, commercial units, a hotel ballroom, a roof garden and an art museum.
