Hangzhou Waves Building by JDS architects

Designed by JDS Architects, this amazing architectural concept called ‘Hangzhou Waves’ would be built in the district of Hangzhou in China. The building will have a luxury hotel complex as well offices. Placed back-to-back, the pair of structures mirror each other in form, opening a central void into each of the volumes which introduces natural daylight into the core of each building. Comprised of small cubes, the exterior appearance of the hotel is a result of a series of stepped terraces which extend from each room providing surfaces for vegetation to produce a green roof effect. The downward sloping profile allows views of the adjacent park and canal.
