COFCO Plaza in Beijing - Kokaistudios | Kokaistudios
Beijing / China / 2017

Kokaistudios has completed the architectural and interior design renovation of COFCO Plaza. Built in 1996, the building occupies one of the best locations in Beijing, along Jianguomen street at the cross with Chang’an Avenue, 1km away from the Forbidden City.
Two V-shaped fourteen storey office towers cut into the surrounding urban environment at a 45 degree angle. They are linked together by the central square shaped complex, creating a structure with sharp corners and a strong sense of geometry.
The re-development focused on "innovation through renovation", a concept that has guided many of Kokaistudios' previous work. The firm strived to enrich the urban fabric by re-purposing and re-examining the potential of existing buildings. The architects worked closely with COFCO to understand the brand in order to translate the culture into a spatial experience.
