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.

天津周大福海中心雅的曲线巧妙地表达了座建筑的三个划元素,同时也为这座城市的天际线增添了一份雄的宣言。 530 米高的摩天大楼公室、300 式公寓和一家 350 客房的五星酒店。 塔是天津经济 (TEDA) 的最新地,位于天津市郊外。

八个斜的柱子巧妙地藏在弯曲的玻璃外后面。孔的布置策略性地增了塔的空气力学形状,减少了流脱落,从而着降低了力的力。

塔楼的环保设计符合 LEED® 级标

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.
