The project is located in the Fuqiang area of Chashan Street, Tianning District, with a construction area of 232000 square meters. It is embedded at the midpoint of the transportation artery Zhongwu Avenue, where Metro Line 1 and the planned Line 4 intersect, providing a north-south thoroughfare and a superior geographical location.
On May 30, 2024, the brilliant commercial star map of East China added another pole, creating a new commercial chapter in the precision casting of the Wanxiang series. Changzhou Wanxiang City adheres to the "Tea Mountain Culture" and deeply explores the spiritual charm of "Jiangnan Longcheng". With unique craftsmanship, art and tea are intertwined. Through new artistic design techniques, it analyzes, constructs, and depicts the thousands of aspects belonging to "tea", endowing space with poetry and creating a commercial atmosphere with regional characteristics. It invites the public to appreciate the poetry and philosophy hidden in the beauty of things.
This project is a commercial landmark carefully crafted by China Resources Land (Changzhou) Co., Ltd., which combines complex aesthetics and functionality. Its curtain wall construction design is excellent, showcasing the fusion of diverse technology and art.
The curtain wall forms include: claw glass curtain wall, frame type glass curtain wall, frame type aluminum plate curtain wall, glass railing, aluminum alloy ventilation louver, aluminum plate rain canopy, stainless steel rain canopy, perforated panel curtain wall, aluminum alloy grille, aluminum plate starry sky roof, skylight roof, aluminum mesh curtain wall system, groove ceramic plate system, illusion ceramic plate system, and a variety of materials. A total of 19 different categories of curtain walls and decorative materials are adopted, each with exquisite material selection and craftsmanship, jointly building the extraordinary exterior of this commercial complex.

In the early stage, after multiple communications with the owner and solution company regarding the highlights of the project, the project characteristics and appearance requirements were clarified. After a detailed study of the characteristics of the curtain wall facade, a comparative solution document was provided. Based on comprehensive evaluation, the curtain wall material and structural connection plan have been finalized. The following is an overview of the main curtain wall system design.
▲ Front view of the main entrance
The elliptical top configuration directly above the main entrance in the northwest corner adopts a vertical and horizontal hidden glass curtain wall system with a staggered design of an aluminum plate curtain wall in the middle, with a gradual three-dimensional expression form. The five layers of glass directly fall to the ground, and with the help of the separation of the canopy and the upper volume, it creates a magnificent visual effect.

Looking down at the transition, a three-layer high point glass curtain wall system is used above the main entrance, which is made of double-layer ultra white glass material, significantly enhancing the brightness and transparency of the entrance area.
▲ Model diagram
The rain canopy directly above the main entrance is made of stainless steel plate, lined with honeycomb core, and the ceiling is tightly assembled. The corners are grooved to ensure their flatness and sense of lines.

▲ Facade Realistic View
Located on the first and second floors of the main storefront along the street, a high rise glass curtain wall is installed, using an exquisite component type vertical and horizontal hidden glass curtain wall system. To weaken the visual perception of the members, the columns are made of 250 * 70 * 6mm welded steel square pipes and 70 * 21mm decorative covers. The horizontal beams are discarded, providing unobstructed visibility. The application of ultra white and high transparency tempered glass adds a touch of crystal clarity, better meeting the display needs of the store.

▲ Main Northeast Starry Sky Summit
The perforated aluminum plate ceiling located on the third floor of the northeast corner adopts the aesthetic concept of looking up at the stars, and is designed with a perforated matrix. It is lined with transparent panels. The main keel of the ceiling is made of 120 * 80 * 4 hot-dip galvanized steel square tubes, and the crossbeam is made of 50 * 50 * 4 hot-dip galvanized steel square tubes. The panel is made of tightly assembled aluminum plate system to maximize the completeness of the landing effect. When night falls, the light spot passes through the pores, weaving the Milky Way pouring out, interweaving space and light and shadow, creating a poetic atmosphere.
