Entry Description

Cainiao Smart Gateway is located near the airport and provides abundant spaces with high headroom and tolerances for floor smoothness and flatness, in order to facilitate advanced automated logistics technologies. Due to the triangular shaped site and sloping height limit due to its proximity to the airport, the building form took shape to maximize the development potential and cater operational needs. Care has been taken to counter the traditional mindset of a warehouse as being boxy and enclosed through the use of curves, cladding and colour to soften its profile and break down its mass.
