The new 105-meter-tall tower designed by OMA-Chris van Duijn addresses its immediate urban surroundings with a sculptural facade of white ceramic stripes. It is the firm Jomoo’s headquarters, standing at the intersection of two contrasting contexts: dense high-rises on one side, forested hills on the other. And its dynamic form reflects the duality.

The faceted base is inspired by the mountainous landscape of the Chinese province of Fujian. A series of angles forms folds with 21 glazed triangles, in an irregular geometry that accommodates the building’s entrances and public spaces like the foyer, an exhibition gallery, a multipurpose hall, and a conference rooms.

The upper part, containing offices, rises from the podium without fissures. Its facade presents vertical stripes of white ceramic oriented in different directions, equally evoking the windows of local tradition and the identitarian use of this material by Jomoo in the sanitary ware it manufactures, combining craft traditions with advanced technology. This project does without indoor columns to create large, flexible, efficient spaces.
