XPENG Headquarters: A New Landmark of Intelligent Mobility and FutureTech Architecture by weico Architects

The newly completed XPENG Headquarters, designed by Sun Wei and his team at weico Architects, marks a major milestone for China’s rapidly evolving intelligent mobility sector. Officially entering its commissioning phase on October 20, 2025, the headquarters represents a bold architectural statement that embodies XPENG’s vision of a future driven by AI, smart transportation, and sustainable innovation.

A Future-Focused Super Campus in the Heart of Guangzhou

Located in Cencun, Tianhe Intelligence City, Guangzhou, the XPENG Headquarters campus extends across 68,000 square meters, with an impressive total built area of 360,000 square meters—large enough to accommodate 13,000 employees. As of its opening, nearly 11,000 staff from XPENG Motors and XPENG AeroHT (its flying car division) have already moved into the facility.

The headquarters functions as a next-generation technology park, integrating:

• AI-driven mobility R&D
• Green and low-carbon building systems
• Large-scale collaborative workspaces
• Fluid architectural design inspired by intelligent movement

This integration reinforces XPENG’s role as a leader in autonomous driving and future mobility solutions.

Dynamic Architecture for a New Era

Breaking away from the rigid architectural styles of the industrial era, the headquarters adopts a dynamic, flowing form that mirrors the brand’s focus on cutting-edge vehicle design and smart mobility. The structure is composed of:

• Two large, interconnected office courtyards
• A massing form that ascends from south to north, framing views of distant mountains
• A unified architectural envelope that emphasizes lightness, movement, and continuity

The concept phase was led by weico Architects, while CAPOL International developed the construction documentation. The result is a campus that delivers both aesthetic innovation and advanced functionality.

A Complete Industrial Ecosystem Under One Roof

Unlike typical corporate headquarters, the XPENG campus consolidates a vast set of functions essential to automotive innovation, including:

Core R&D and Industrial Facilities

• Automotive engineering research laboratories
• Exterior and interior vehicle styling evaluation centers
• Vehicle testing zones

Independent Support Facilities

• An XPENG flagship showroom
• A shared conference and event center
• A dedicated flying car takeoff and landing platform, highlighting XPENG’s leadership in urban air mobility

Integrated Urban + Green Design

The building’s rooftop and exterior spaces further enhance its forward-looking identity with:

• Photovoltaic power systems
• Outdoor sports and wellness spaces
• Waterfront and rooftop landscape zones
• A multifunctional aircraft landing platform

These design elements merge sustainability, practicality, and futuristic aesthetics.

A Hyper-Complex Headquarters Built for Scale

What makes this project even more exceptional is its engineering and organizational complexity. The headquarters integrates:

• 20,000 square meters of underground dining and employee services
• A transportation system comparable to that of a small airport
• Multi-audience spaces for shows, product launches, exhibitions, and retail

This level of complexity positions the XPENG Headquarters as a super campus and a benchmark for future corporate megastructures in the tech and automotive sectors.
