Project Type:  Commercial Size:  110,000 sqm Year:  Complete in 2025 Credibility:  Yang's Previous Experience as Architectural Designer at SOM Photographer:  Dave Burk Located in Shenzhen’s Qianhai District, the 31-story, 110,000-square-meter WeBank Headquarters is designed to reflect the bank’s mission of inclusive finance and digital innovation. Blending technology, sustainability, and workplace wellness, the headquarters features flexible workspaces, indoor-outdoor areas, planted terraces, and design strategies that foster collaboration and employee well-being. Inspired by regional Lingnan architecture, the building incorporates public arcades, courtyards, and mixed-use spaces that support interaction, adaptability, and natural ventilation through terraced atria. Natural finishes connect interior spaces to outdoor terraces and vertical parks planted with native flora. Climate-responsive elements—like horizontal shading fins, reduced glazing, and low-e glass—limit solar gain while maximizing daylight. With a window-to-wall ratio of 50% and shaded terraces, the design improves comfort and energy efficiency. WeBank Headquarters embodies the company’s vision of merging finance and technology with the natural environment, creating a model workplace for a more connected world.
