The total building area of Binhu Square is 412,000sqm, located on the axis connecting Binhu New Area and Hefei old City, so its location is very important. The scheme echoes the grid urban structure of Binhu New Area with eight orthogonal towers. The tower rises from a 70-meter hotel apartment to a 260-meter landmark.The square surrounded by towers faces the axis and gathers people. The landmark tower consists of six hanging gardens stacked on top of each other, echoing the old City of Hefei to the north.
