The Home Office Tower converts a residential building into much-needed office space in the city of Tiantong Yuan, known as the “largest sleeping city in the world”.

Tiantong Yuan is the home of over 700,000 people who make the hours-long commute back and forth to Beijing each day. The large concentration of residential-only developments in Tiantong Yuan results in massive daily traffic jams on the way to downtown Beijing. During working hours, Tiantongyuan becomes a ghost town. The Home Office Tower is the first project of this type in the Tiantong Science and Technology Park. It is a focus area for the city-wide Huitian Plan, which aims to provide a greater mixture of uses in this residential area by converting vacant residential buildings into office buildings.
