Hangzhou Architecture
Architecture and interior design projects in Hangzhou, from biophilic offices to adaptive reuse of industrial warehouses.
Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province in eastern China, has become a notable setting for contemporary architecture and interior design. The city combines a dense historic core around West Lake with fast-growing commercial and cultural districts, which gives designers a wide range of building types and contexts to work with. Projects here often balance regional material traditions with current global practice.
Community work under this topic includes biophilic office interiors that bring natural light, planting, and organic forms into workplaces, and adaptive reuse projects that convert former industrial warehouses into media and cultural centers. Members share these projects to examine how existing structures can be reshaped for new public and commercial uses.
