A first look at the Hanghzou Prism.
Paying homage to the ancient Chinese saying that there is ‘Paradise above, and Hangzhou below’, the architecture of the Hangzhou Prism integrates with the beauty of its natural and urban contexts. Embedded in the heart of Hangzhou’s new CBD, the complex is designed to be a new hub for the innovation district, housing a diverse program that blends hotel, terraced lofts and retail spaces, with a public atrium garden. An adjacent residential tower complements the Prism to encourage the development of creative and start-up communities.
