In the heart of the new central business district in Suzhou–one of the most popular, livable cities in China–SOM is designing a 460-meter-tall landmark tower, invested by China Overseas Land and Investment Ltd. Integrating apartments, office space and retail into one mixed-use community in three interwoven towers, the tower will be the new landmark in Suzhou, serving as a modern expression of the city’s enduring values, and an homage to its ecological landscape.

苏州作为江南水乡的典范，以运河、古塔、小桥流水、古典园林而闻名，代表了中国人几千年来对传统水乡居住最高境界的完美体现。

SOM的设计根植于苏州千年古城的传统文化，也体现了苏州“三水绕城”的独有特质——塔瓣开阔面分别朝向太湖水系、阳澄湖水系、金鸡独墅湖水系，为用户打造最佳视野。

Known for its canals, bridges, pagodas, and classical gardens, Suzhou is widely regarded as the bedrock of Chinese classical architecture. In designing the tower, SOM’s team sought to reflect the ancient city’s rich cultural roots and its unique geographic location, at the confluence of the Taihu, Yancheng, and Jinji Dushu Lakes.

设计灵感来源于苏州的水文化，水路并行的理念贯穿了苏州几千年的文化传统和生活方式。 历史上的苏州是中国经济、贸易和文化中心，而今日的苏州是长三角经济区的重镇。 “三舟交汇”的塔楼造型寓意着人才、财富和产业的聚集。

The design takes inspiration from Suzhou’s relationship to water. As a major economic and cultural center, Suzhou has been a focal point of trade and commerce throughout history. – A prosperous city in the Yangtze River delta region, Suzhou is crossed by waterways, canals and lakes. Shaped in the form of three boats converging, the design symbolizes the gathering of people, talent, and industry.
