Located in Hangzhou’s Qiantang District, Tederic International Center was designed by milanesi|paiusco from 2020 to completion in 2024. The project integrates architecture, interiors, and landscape within a unified campus for Tederic, the first publicly listed Chinese injection moulding machine company. Covering more than 91,000 square meters, the campus combines offices, commercial facilities, hospitality spaces, and a smart factory. Open public spaces and circulation routes replace the closed image of the traditional industrial compound.
The project draws inspiration from the electric motor, translating the idea of energy transfer into spatial organization. Offices, factories, and visitor circulation work together as interconnected parts within one continuous system. An Red bridge links the headquarters and factory, while the illuminated roof transforms the industrial building into a nighttime landmark. Polycarbonate panels provide daylight, energy efficiency, and a distinctive architectural identity.
The architecture adopts a high-tech vocabulary defined by double-layer façades, modular geometry, and projecting wings. The façade system was optimized for energy performance and construction efficiency, using twelve different Low-E glazing configurations calibrated according to orientation. Expanded aluminum mesh reduces glare and improves airflow, while the shadow-box system conceals structural and fire-protection elements behind the curtain wall.
