Architectural Design

This unique golden donut-shaped building was designed by Italian architect Joseph di Pasquale. This building was completed in 2013, has 33 floors and a height of 138 meters. The building is now the main office of the Hongda Xingye Group and the Guangdong Plastic Exchange.

When designing this building, Pasquale was inspired by Chinese traditions such as jade slabs, ancient Chinese coins and Mandarin characters. Due to its location by the river, when reflected by the water, the shadow of the Guangzhou Circle forms the number eight, a popular number in Chinese culture because of its association with prosperity as well as the symbol of infinity.
