In the core of Qianjiang Century City, the China Zheshang Bank Headquarters exudes a commanding presence on the southern bank of the Qiantang River as a striking manifestation of the corporate culture and values.

The challenge is establishing a design that facilitates convenient use and mobility for the 8,000 staff members. The headquarters encompasses a 250m-tall office module, service modules ranging from 24 to 60m height, and a three-story underground module for basic supports. The design incorporates two crucial axes intersecting at the entrance courtyard to foster integration between the office and service modules. The vertical "work axis" is the primary vertical circulation of the 136,000㎡ office tower, and the horizontal "relax axis" features a spacious atrium connecting various functions such as conferences, training, dining, fitness, entertainment, medical facilities, and lodging.

The design incorporates a stacking of the traditional measurement tool "Dou（斗）" as a motif, reflecting the identity of the financial enterprise and evoking a sense of terracing and ascending. This idea is integrated into various design aspects, including master planning, podium design, spatial layout, landscaping, and roof details, resulting in a cohesive architectural style. The north and south slicing gestures produce a dynamic Z-shaped facade effect. Considering CZBANK's regional background, the design incorporates the imagery of traditional Zhejiang sloping roofs into various architectural elements, such as the entrance canopy, the podium's horizontal sunshades, and the tower's vertical louvers. The landscape system features greenery at different elevations, providing workers with a "garden office" experience.

The main facade material consists of natural-colored aluminum panels with an anodized finish. Its metallic texture, long-lasting durability, and high recycling value make it aesthetically pleasing and functional. A prefabricated construction approach for the curtain wall system has been employed to promote sustainability. Upon completion of the project, a new "green financial landmark" will be established in the financial district along the Qiantang River.
