[2023] 100 Architect of the Year_Kris Yao_Hainan Energy Trading Building

Hainan Energy Trading Building

■ Project Description
The Hainan Energy Trading Building, a modern logistics and international commodity trading center, is located in the new central business area - Jiangdong New District. The site offers a great view of the Qiongzhou Strait to the north, and faces the Jiangdong Avenue in the south, which is the main traffic artery of Haikou city.

The traditional Hainan architecture utilizes natural ventilation to cool the buildings by elevating them from ground floor. The design incorporates this regional characteristic by raising the main volume, creating a ‘floating box’ above a landscaped ground floor, and an impressive central courtyard greeting visitors as they enter the atrium. Sky gardens are arranged diagonally across every four floors, connecting to the open ground floor and central atrium for natural ventilation and a comfortable microclimate for the workspace.

The building showcases an energy-efficient double skin façade with high-transparent glass, allowing unobstructed views through the building envelope. Horizontal window openings break the closed form of a typical glass curtain wall, creating a human-scale connection between users and the environment. Not a single column interrupts the spacious sky gardens that rotate at every four levels, leaving the massing of another four levels above cantilevered up to 14 meters. This is achieved through the use of mega bracing that minimizes the lateral deflection of structure, and a feasible solution for strengthening earthquake resistance.
