Protruding eaves and cantilevered verandas of the Novartis (Shanghai) – Block C6 are reminiscent of towers in Chinese classic architecture, serving as a modern interpretation. The open layout and nonprescriptive areas, including a central garden, internal courtyard and indoor leisure space, provide flexible office space for both intended and chance encounters. A living wall flanks the staircase in the vertical atrium, which extends from the ground floor to the ceiling of the 6-story building, measuring more than 31 meters tall; with two additional levels located underground. Wraparound verandas on each aboveground level are equipped with rotating laminate bamboo louvers, inspired by top-hung windows of traditional Chinese homes, allowing for a range of desired natural light throughout the day. Light also filters from above and through the voids in between the three volumes of the building, composed of “Rebirth Bricks” (from the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake) and efficient low-E glass.
