Zaha Hadid Architects Unveils the Design of the Daxia Tower in China

Zaha Hadid Architects has revealed the design of the Daxia Tower, to be built in the High-Tech Economic and Technological Development Zone of Xi’an, one of China’s largest inland cities with a population nearing nine million people.

The tower will mark the center of Xi’an’s business district and will include offices, retail, and ancillary facilities, all designed with data analytics and behavior modeling to ensure a balanced disposition of spaces.

Situated on a 16,700 sq. m site on Jingye Road, the Daxia Tower will incorporate 127,220 sq. m of office space, along with additional functions to create a seamless integration between the new addition and the surrounding development zone. Measuring 210 meters in height, the tower presents the image of a gently curving silhouette accentuated by layers of patterned glazing.

Multi-storey atriums are designed around the building to bring natural daylight into the floorplates, while the interior planted terraces take cues from the mountainside waterfalls. The integrated greenery also helps purify the air, fostering a healthier indoor environment.

The structure is also adapted to the challenges of Xi’an’s temperate continental monsoon climate. Optimized daylight and incorporated natural ventilation ensure high performance and low emissivity during the building’s lifespan.

The glazed facades feature a thermal coating and insulation against low U-values to further reduce energy demand and increase efficiency. The facades also include sensors and photovoltaic panels to enable energy generation.

A rainwater harvesting system is planned to create a supplementary source of non-potable water, while an integrated recycling system will treat and reuse gray water. A smart management system will monitor the energy consumption and environmental performance, as well as recognize patterns in occupancy, allowing it to adjust the interior conditions accordingly. Daxia Tower’s design targets LEED Gold certification and the highest three-star rating of China’s Green Building Program.
