Tianjin CTF Finance Centre

Tianjin CTF

The undulating curves of the Tianjin Chow Tai Fook Binhai Centre subtly express three programmatic elements while adding a bold statement to the city’s skyline. The 530-meter-tall skyscraper houses offices, 300 service apartments, and a five-star 350-rooms hotel. The tower is the latest landmark in the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA), located just outside Tianjin.


Eight sloping columns are cleverly concealed behind the  gently curving glass skin. Multi-storey wind vents are strategically placed to enhance the tower's aerodynamic shape in reducing vortex shedding, which in turn dramatically minimizes wind forces.

The tower’s green design includes a high-performance envelope, optimized daylighting, and green landscaping to LEED® Gold standards.

天津周大福滨海中心优雅的曲线巧妙地表达了这座建筑的三个规划元素,同时也为这座城市的天际线增添了一份雄伟的宣言。 这座 530 米高的摩天大楼设有办公室、300 间服务式公寓和一家拥有 350 间客房的五星级酒店。 该塔是天津经济技术开发区 (TEDA) 的最新地标,位于天津市郊外。

八个倾斜的柱子巧妙地隐藏在弯曲的玻璃外墙后面。 多层通风孔的布置策略性地增强了塔的空气动力学形状,减少了涡流脱落,从而显着降低了风力的压力。

塔楼的环保设计符合 LEED® 金级标准。

CTF Tianjin Tower

Architect: Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM
Location: Tianjin, China
Height: 530 meters
Comprises of: 300 Service Apartments & a 350 rooms 5 Star Hotel


 
When compared to other skyscrapers by SOM, this building is less dramatic in terms of its form. Its curvature around the tube is very raw and there is still plenty of room for improvement. The elevation looks aggressive but when viewed in 3D, the sides of the building seem a bit unresolved.
