Xiamen Airlines Headquarters tower is located at the heart of Xiamen Cross-strait Financial Centre Masterplan in the Eastern Huli District. The headquarters is part of a new complex designed by the practice, including an adjacent hotel tower and Xiamen Airlines Plaza, which is a new civic space for the city. The two towers are directly connected by the plaza and act as a marker for the whole district.

厦门航空总部大厦位于湖里区东部，是厦门海峡两岸金融中心总体规划的核心。该总部大厦是事务所设计的全新综合体的一部分，该综合体包括毗邻的酒店大厦和厦门航空广场，后者是城市新的公共空间。两座大厦通过广场直接连接，并成为整个区域的标志性建筑。

Inspired by the Wuyi Mountains and iconic paintings of the Chinese rock mountains, the new headquarters rises vertically through the landscape, creating a dynamic composition that is instantly recognisable. The tower’s split form conveys movement, and its materiality is strongly expressed. Metal panelling reflects varying light conditions, while anodised aluminium adds texture and depth. The building’s expressed glass lift shafts animate the north-western elevation, making the tower a dynamic focal point from the highway.

受武夷山和中国标志性的石山画的启发，新总部大厦垂直拔地而起，贯穿景观，营造出极具辨识度的动态构图。大厦的分体式造型传达着动感，其材质也得到了强烈的表达。金属面板反射着不同的光线，阳极氧化铝则增添了质感和深度。建筑外露的玻璃电梯井为西北立面增添了活力，使大厦成为高速公路上的动态焦点。

Placing the lift cores on the outside of the tower gives the structure a unique form and a flexible, open floorplate. This approach is an evolution of the conventional office layout, to allow more connectivity with the outside, whilst maximising views and daylight via large bay windows.

电梯核心筒位于大厦外侧，赋予了建筑独特的形态和灵活开放的楼面空间。这种设计方法是对传统办公室布局的革新，旨在增强与外部空间的连通性，同时通过大型飘窗最大限度地利用视野和日光。

The entrance lobby is a grand, 24-metre-tall space that visually and physically connects with the plaza at the heart of the masterplan. The plaza links together the headquarters and the hotel, creating a more inclusive arrival experience for all. The headquarters features sky gardens, restaurants, bars, and exhibition areas across multiple levels.

入口大厅是一个24米高的宏伟空间，在视觉和物理上与总体规划中心的广场相连接。广场将总部和酒店连接在一起，为所有人打造更具包容性的抵达体验。总部设有空中花园、餐厅、酒吧和展览区，分布在多个楼层。
