Vipshop Headquarters

The architectural concept for the company headquarters was for a horizontally layered office landscape. A ten-story plinth connects all three building plots of the angular site, straddling the respective roads. On this basis, the overall volume and the arrangement of the vertical circulation systems were developed with the aim of creating a maximum of office spaces with attractive views across the river and city. The different functional areas of the building are visually layered, separated by vertical incisions and floors with special functions appearing as joints. Two slender towers rising up from the plinth structure add a strong vertical accent. The plain, horizontally-structured facades with floor-to-ceiling glazing give the office complex a unified appearance, which means that the headquarters can be recognized from afar and identified as the new address of the vip.com online corporation.
