Beijing Tongzhou Hejing Center

It overlooks the Grand Canal, being the longest and largest such waterways in the world, as well as one of the oldest. Moreover, alongside the Great Wall and the Karez Well System, it is considered one of the three major projects of Ancient China.

Indeed, the foundation of Tongzhou is very ancient and dates back to 195 BC but the current name, which means “the place for passing through”, is dated to around 1151. Today, the entire area – which extends to an extent equal to approximately 6% of Beijing – is experiencing a time of great growth and development. This is also demonstrated by the recent major real estate development, the Beijing Tongzhou Hejing Center, which is located close to the main communication and transport routes and is even receiving increasing interest from foreign investors who recognise its considerable potential in business terms.

Extending across a total area of more than 330,000 square metres and including 7 buildings – 3 for offices and 4 for residential use – the Beijing Tongzhou Hejing Center arises as a prestigious architectural complex reflected in the waters of the Grand Canal, to best savour the spectacular views. To emphasise the entire site, the Brandston Partneship lighting design studio sought out discreet luminaires able to guarantee high illumination performance, ultimately opting to install the Thin66 linear element of Linea Light Group, specially made in a custom version.
