Shaoxing IFC Tower: A Modern Office Space with Cultural Influences

Blending Local Culture and Modern Design

The interior design approach of the Shaoxing IFC Tower, designed by Zhuhai Huafa Properties Co., Ltd., draws inspiration from the local culture and architecture of Shaoxing. By reinterpreting these elements in a contemporary way, the designers have created a modern and sophisticated office space that complements the architectural facade design.

The designers have adopted an international-style concept for the interior design, maximizing the entrance lobby ceiling heights and incorporating luxurious finishes in simple forms. The result is a space that exudes elegance and sophistication, while still maintaining a contemporary look and feel.

The interior elements of the Shaoxing IFC Tower are made of large slabs of white marble, defined by rows of natural textured stone finish. The rectangular pattern is framed with gold bronze metal, which is also used for touchable details like door handles, lighting, artwork, and café furnishings. The lift lobby ceiling creates a skylight effect above the waiting space, while the walls are cladded with crisp geometric panels of natural textured accent stone and bronze finishes.

One of the unique properties of the Shaoxing IFC Tower is its location within the Shaoxing Honour Finance Center, a major contemporary business district in Shaoxing. This comprehensive district offers a range of amenities for living, working, shopping, and entertainment activities. The IFC Tower serves as the landmark building in the development and is targeted towards sophisticated international corporations from finance, insurance, technology, logistics, and real estate markets. It also appeals to executives and consultants providing support for culture, education, and manufacturing sectors.

The IFC Tower stands at a height of 168 meters with a total gross floor area of 55,000 square meters and 26 floors. Each typical office floor provides 2,400 square meters of area, making it a spacious and functional workspace for its users. The entrance lobby, with its 11.7-meter floor height, offers a one-of-a-kind entry experience for those entering the tower.

The design of the Shaoxing IFC Tower is not only visually stunning but also functional. The interior design is derived from the dynamic architecture of the complex, with vertical lines on the facade and a dynamic horizontal ribbon that draws flow to the entrance and soars to the top of the building. The interiors are bright, richly finished, and well-lit, providing ample opportunities to display sculptures, artworks, and seasonal decorations.

The Shaoxing IFC Tower is located in the core area of Shaoxing and the Jinghu New District in eastern Zhejiang province, China. The development is conveniently located adjacent to Jiefang Avenue and Qunxian Middle Road, with the Museum Station (Metro Line 5) opening as a supporting infrastructure for the community.

The Shaoxing IFC Tower, with its blend of local culture and modern design, stands as a testament to the vision and creativity of Zhuhai Huafa Properties Co., Ltd. It offers a contemporary and global business atmosphere in a rich cultural context, making it an ideal workspace for sophisticated international corporations.
