Located at the southwest corner of Beijing’s fourth ring road, the development project for Tunghsu’s Mixed-use Solar Complex comprises an area of 32,000 m2. The project has been named after its sponsor: the Tunghsu Group, a pioneer in renewable energy in China.
The appearance of the commercial and the office buildings is determined by two factors: a manipulation of the buildings’ envelope to bring the maximum amount available of natural light into the complex, and an extensive use of the project sponsor’s main product: solar panels.
