CTTQ Pharma Global Headquarters breaks ground

Designed by BDP, the striking new development creates a smart and environmentally friendly workplace, comprising two research and development centres, an administrative building, a conference centre and residential apartments.

Central to the design was the establishment of a permeable life science research campus, which is open to the public. User-friendliness and practicality inform the design, with workspaces strategically placed around a central heart space, offering flexibility and vitality.

The design for the two R&D centres divides and distributes the building forms to create a spacious, open campus. Large open areas interconnect the facility’s spaces and amenities, enhancing circulation and promoting workplace wellbeing. Internal and external activity areas allow users to relax and enjoy the outdoor environment.

BDP’s Architect Director, Tianyi Gu said: “By reflecting CTTQ’s values and identity, the design of this brilliant new building maximises the efficiency of work and design, and improves the wellbeing of employees and end-users. It also benefits the community and creates a new landmark for the city.”

Passive design strategies include solar shading, custom facades, and low-e glass integrated into the building. The project, which is set to be completed by 2026, showcases a commitment to both environmental responsibility and to providing a thriving workspace.
