Construction work has begun on the Chengdu Jiaozi Courtyard Towers, the MVRDV-designed mixed-use complex that will complete the last empty site in Chengdu’s Jiaozi Park Financial and Business District, located right next to the district’s central building complex, the Tianfu International Finance Centre. Comprising three office towers and a conference centre atop a ring-shaped plinth, the building is informed by its context in a multitude of ways – most notably in the retail village that recalls the traditional structures once located on the site.

The conference centre and the three office towers – which stand 80, 100, and 130 metres in height – are arranged at each corner of the roughly square site. With a dramatic cantilever and fa?ade details inspired by the bamboo-weaving traditions of the region, the conference centre serves as an eye-catching addition to the site’s most prominent corner, facing the Tianfu International Finance Centre.

This square arrangement of the towers and the conference centre is contrasted at the base by a ring-shaped connecting plinth, creating a round courtyard. Next to the conference centre, this plinth steps down to street level to create a visual connection and to welcome people into the centre of the site. Additional access to the courtyard is provided by three passages cut through the plinth at other locations.

Inside the circular courtyard, visitors encounter a modern interpretation of an assortment of one- and two-storey buildings, which recall a historic feature of the site: until the mid-2000s, this was the location of a small traditional village, but all trace of these structures has now been erased. These demolished buildings are recreated in their original sizes and positions to serve as a retail village mixing shopping with cafés, bars, and restaurants to create a charming and vibrant atmosphere within the bounds of the circular plinth. Where possible, these small structures are proposed to be constructed from wood and recycled materials, reducing the embodied carbon in their construction.

The three office towers of the design blend in with the modest towers surrounding them thanks to subtle yet elegant details that are also key to the towers’ sustainability. With the surrounding buildings already constructed, a shadow study for the site was able to identify exactly when the sun would strike each part of the design’s surfaces. This allowed the team to fine-tune the fa?ade design with fins at three different angles to limit solar gain. On the back of these fins, openable panels in the office interiors allow for user-controlled natural ventilation, reducing the need for mechanical cooling and therefore the operational energy required by the offices.
