China Central Television (CCTV) Headquarters

Redefined the traditional form of skyscrapers

An iconic landmark in Beijing, CCTV Headquarters stands at a height of 234 meters and has a total floor area of 473,000 sq. m. Comprised of two inclined towers connected by horizontal building elements at the top and base, the interconnected volumes form one integrated loop with designated areas for administration, news, broadcasting, production, and public space. With a unique trapezoid form, the tower utilizes a diagrid structural system that is prominently visible in the façade as an intricate diagonal pattern. Rolax’s scope of work on the site also included a service building for mechanical and electrical services as well as an outdoor media park.
