Tencent Beijing Headquarters is an office building of 334,000 ㎡. This 36-meter-high building has a simple external appearance. The square-shaped floating volume of merely seven floors stretches out horizontally, with an exceptionally large floorplan of 180 x 180m. Three entrances are defined by cutting off the bottom corners of the volume's northeast, southeast, and southwest side. The facade of the building is composed of the standard-unit glass curtain wall, the vertical louvers, and the standard-unit metal-plate curtain wall.
