Desain arsitekturnya mencerminkan identitas Cainiao. Pintu masuk berbentuk menyerupai paruh burung dengan kanopi berlapis yang modern. Fasad bangunan terinspirasi dari logo perusahaan, menciptakan “Sarang” yang menyatukan privasi, pemandangan, dan simbolisme. Elemen ini merepresentasikan hubungan harmonis Cainiao dengan mitra dan jaringan globalnya. Panel kaca low-E memastikan interior mendapat cahaya alami sambil meminimalkan panas, menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang nyaman dan berpusat pada manusia.

Interior kantor didesain fleksibel untuk mendukung kolaborasi. Dinding kaca tinggi memungkinkan pekerja menikmati cahaya matahari dan pemandangan lanskap. Beragam ruang rapat disediakan untuk berbagai kebutuhan. Beberapa ruang rapat kantilever memberikan dinamisme sekaligus pemandangan halaman yang terbuka. Pantry dan ruang istirahat tersebar di seluruh bangunan, mendorong komunikasi dan interaksi.

Empat halaman utama memiliki fungsi berbeda. Halaman timur, yang terhubung ke pintu masuk, memiliki aula multifungsi untuk acara besar. Halaman selatan menghadirkan pemandangan danau dan fasilitas olahraga. Halaman barat menyediakan outlet makanan, tempat duduk luar ruangan, dan area hijau untuk bersantai. Halaman utara menawarkan taman yang tenang, menciptakan suasana alami.

Atrium di pusat bangunan menghubungkan keempat halaman. Atrium ini menjadi ruang komunal dengan pencahayaan alami dan dominasi warna-warna terang. Tangga dan lift mempermudah akses, mengarahkan pekerja ke ruang utama untuk kolaborasi dan kreativitas. Kantor Pusat Cainiao tampil sebagai bangunan yang terhubung, dinamis, dan elegan. Desainnya menetapkan standar baru bagi perusahaan dengan menghadirkan lingkungan kerja yang lengkap dan mendukung produktivitas. (uci)

Hangzhou Yuhang Cainiao Headquarters & Industry Park

Located in the Yuhang District of Hangzhou, Cainiao Headquarters consists of a five-story office building complemented by a variety of communal spaces. Designed by Aedas Global Design Principal Cary Lau and Executive Director Henry Chau, the headquarters serves as a collaborative hub for Cainiao workers in Hangzhou. Positioned to the west of the Future Technology City Yuhang, the site benefits from excellent connectivity via highways and metro lines, as well as proximity to natural attractions and a green belt, offering both accessibility and scenic views.

The layout emphasizes circulation and connectivity, inspired by the concept of a space station to reflect Cainiao’s corporate identity. A visitor center at the entrance ensures easy access for workers and guests, while the main building features diagonal connections to enhance accessibility and reduce walking distances. Four distinctive internal courtyards, linked by an atrium and a canopy corridor, create a porous development that facilitates natural ventilation and ensures all-weather connectivity across the site.

The architectural design resonates with Cainiao’s identity, with the entrance shaped like a bird’s mouth and a contemporary layered canopy that echoes the design of the visitor center. The façade draws inspiration from the company logo, creating a “Nest” that integrates privacy, views, and symbolism, representing the seamless relationship between Cainiao, its partners, and its global network. Insulated low-E glass panels maximize natural light while minimizing heat gain, fostering a people-centric work environment.

The flexible interior offers an open and collaborative working environment. Full-height glass walls allow workers to enjoy ample sunlight and landscape views. Numerous meeting rooms cater to various needs, while cantilevered meeting spaces inject dynamism and provide unobstructed courtyard views. Pantry and breakout spaces are distributed throughout the building to encourage communication and collaboration.

The four courtyards feature unique functions and amenities. The east courtyard, connected to the main entrance, includes a multifunctional hall for large-scale events. The south courtyard incorporates a lakeside view and sports amenities, while the west courtyard offers F&B outlets, outdoor seating, and greenery for relaxation and socialization. The north courtyard serves as a tranquil garden that fosters a connection to nature.

At the center, a collaborative atrium interconnects the courtyards, serving as a communal hub filled with natural light and light-toned finishes. Stairs and elevators enhance accessibility and guide workers to this central space, which fosters creativity and collaboration. Cainiao Headquarters emerges as a well-connected, dynamic, and elegant building that sets a new horizon for the company, offering a comprehensive working environment for its employees.
