Ant Financial Z Space
To spur innovation and build culture, companies seek to foster collaboration both within and outside their organization. Yet oftentimes corporate headquarters are static and lack dynamic spaces which draw people together. Ant Financial’s Z Space headquarters connects employees to one another and their community through an open, engaging and responsive workplace spanning indoors and out.
Situated along Xixi Road in Hangzhou, Z Space is home to the company’s growing operations. It also serves as a flexible structure to accommodate additional tenants and future real estate adjustments in the company’s business plans.
Features
To spur new connections between employees, the community and the adjacent Zheijiang University, building portals link landscaped outdoor plazas to create a walkable “main street” where people can congregate and pass through to reach public transportation, the university and city.
