Situated next to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, LOFT 49 Creative City Pilot Zone is a new creative office architecture under a district master plan of urban revitalization in Gongshu District, Hangzhou, near the metro line5 Grand Canal station.

The site’s rare irregular boundary was a result from multiple layers of urban development: to the south, an iconic industrial heritage from 1960 turns into the first-in-Hangzhou adaptive reuse cultural-creative park “LOFT 49” in 2002; to the north, a cluster of residential towers built in the 90s. LOFT 49 Creative City Pilot Zone, with a new provision of approximately 36,600 sqm loft office space, is inevitably a conflicting addition to the existing urban fabric.
