Projects ranging from public cultural architecture, commercial complex, office, educational, healthcare, residential, and others

In its more than fifteen years’ history, HDD has transformed from a one-stop service provider focusing on residential design to a design firm that specializes in public cultural architecture, commercial complex, office, educational architecture, healthcare, residential, and so forth that the architectural profession has to offer.

In the area of office design, HDD strives to create office buildings that are in line with industrial innovations and that delineate the spirit of the age. In recent years, the firm has designed and grounded a number of challenging headquarters projects for the big data industry, such as Karamay Digital Network Control Center ‒ one of the few T4 Standard Data Centers, and Copyright Cloud Headquarter in Guizhou ‒ the first national-level digital broadcasting center, as well as Wuhu IDC of China Telecom, Business Incubator Building of Shanghai Wisdom Island Data Industrial Park, and etc. In addition, more headquarters projects are taking shape, including the Huanyu Huijin Center in Dongguan that will be completed in 2021, the Guanghui Xuelian Tianfu Project, and the outer ring building complex of Zhengdong New Area Longfor Financial Center that are both in the design stage.

With educational architecture being a special architecture type, HDD has developed its own sophisticated methodology and languages towards its design, basing on years of intensive practice in the field. In both renovation projects and new construction, HDD explores creative spatial design in relation to the school’s pedagogy and education philosophy. Since 2015, HDD has been undertaking prefabricated design missions, carrying out researches on prefabricated components, as well as their assembling techniques and waterproofing system. Moving forward in architecture standardization, the team is currently developing prefabricated interior components for interior design. Such techniques are used in the design of Shanghai Lansheng Fudan Middle School, supporting elementary school in the Shanghai Cao Road 16-01 parcel, and supporting junior high school in the 15-02 parcel. Apart from schools, they are also applied to residential projects, such as the D09-01, F02-02, and F05-02 plots of the relocation housing project of Minle Daju in Pudong New Area, as well as the 18-04 and 19-01 plots of the Cao Road Phase II project, a district-scale residential community in Pudong New Area, Shanghai.
