Recently, the "Science Innovation Garden"—Hangzhou Smart Medical Park, designed by LYCS Architecture, was officially completed. This project is located in the Haining High-Tech Zone of Zhejiang, in the heart of the Yangtze River Delta integration demonstration area. Covering a total land area of 251,002 square meters, the park includes hotels, conferences, exhibitions, retail, offices, R&D, production, and warehousing facilities. It aims to create a one-stop, multifunctional medical complex.
The design of the Hangzhou Smart Medical Park is guided by the principles of human-centric spirit, production safety, and green ecology. The spatial structure breaks away from the traditional single-function layout of factory buildings by organically integrating business, production, R&D, and living facilities. This approach meets the needs of international medical production and research, creating an efficient and rational production environment alongside a comfortable and vibrant workspace.
City Icon
The northern side of the project features a super high-rise, five-star hotel, standing prominently at the intersection connecting Hangzhou and Haining, creating a distinctive visual landmark.
Additionally, along Yangshan Road, there are two towers: an office tower and a talent apartment tower. These buildings and the hotel form a city skyline, creating a unique and contemporary city icon.
Spatial Character
The design connects various regional functional areas, creating a semi-enclosed shared courtyard. The three towers enclose two main courtyards with distinct characters. The area between the hotel and exhibition space forms a business outer courtyard characterized by a linear design language that fosters an efficient business atmosphere. Meanwhile, the R&D building and incubation center are arranged in an "L" shape along the road, with a curvilinear landscape design forming a comfortable, vibrant R&D office inner courtyard, enhancing the community's diverse, layered, and lively ambiance.
The architectural design rejects the traditional enclosed layout of factory buildings, instead incorporating green edge courtyards and traffic atriums to create a vertical flow within the R&D spaces. These elements interact with the shared inner courtyard, fostering a human-centered R&D office model and a vibrant green space. The industrial block complies with cleanroom design standards, featuring a ground floor with a 6-meter-high ceiling to accommodate air filtration systems.
Facade Expression
The building facades of the park are designed in a modern minimalist style. Under a unified grid-like facade language, the project team has introduced rhythmic variations to offer as many facade types as possible. This approach, combined with the distinctive outdoor spaces, aims to provide each future owner with a sense of belonging.
The hotel’s main facade narrows window frames gradually from bottom to top, creating a subtle vertical gradient effect.
The office tower facade uses metal grilles for a strong vertical order, making the building appear more towering.
The talent apartments feature enlarged glass surfaces with light aluminum trims, resulting in a relaxed and comfortable visual effect.
The project utilizes environmentally friendly, new facade materials to create a unified yet rhythmically varied facade, showcasing the park's modern and high-tech attributes. This contributes significantly to the advancement of the medical sector.
