The tower forms part of a masterplan for the new business district that will include ten towers of between 150 and 450 metres.

The competition was won by Henn StudioB, the Berlin design and research studio of Henn Architekten. The same studio won a competition to masterplan the new business district for Wenzhou in November 2010.

HENN wins the first prize in the international competition to design the Haikou Tower in China.

Among the participants were Wilkinson Eyre, Broadway Malyan, Zaha Hadid Architects and RMJM/Alsop.

The Masterplan for the central business district of Haikou thus marks a major milestone in a series of recent designs by HENN.

The competition was realized by the Berlin-based design & research studio HENN StudioB in cooperation with IPPR International Engineering Corporation, Arup, Front and Lumen3.

Haikou Towers are projected to become the heart of the new Central Business District of Haikou, the capital city of Hainan, a tropical island in the South China Sea.

The Masterplan comprises an ensemble of 10 Towers ranging from 150 to 450 meters height with an overall building area of 1.5 million square meters.
