Recently, the curtain wall installation of "The Cradle of New Retail" West Valley 2 , designed by LYCS Architecture for nine leading enterprises in the e-commerce industry, is progressing in an orderly manner. Located in Fuyang District, Hangzhou, the project covers approximately 51.5 mu and has a total construction area of about 125,000 square meters.
The overall master plan organizes the park into several relatively independent blocks. Public spaces are structured through two large-scale courtyards and a sunken garden, creating an open yet orderly spatial layout that evokes a campus-like atmosphere for the e-commerce headquarters cluster. The buildings are arranged in a staggered height pattern, incorporating a central garden level and split-section structure to flexibly accommodate a “headquarters above, leasing below” layout. Facade articulations with deliberate offsets enhance the identity of individual buildings while contributing to a coherent and continuous streetscape.
