Infinitus Plaza Interior

The interior design of Infinitus Plaza continues the architectural narrative established by the building’s exterior form. Echoing the symbol for infinity (∞), the design creates a series of shared indoor and outdoor spaces that reflect Infinitus’ core values: connection, adaptability, and collective well-being.

A headquarters for innovation and community

The interior design of Infinitus Plaza continues the architectural narrative established by the building’s exterior form. Echoing the symbol for infinity (∞), the design creates a series of shared indoor and outdoor spaces that reflect Infinitus’ core values: connection, adaptability, and collective well-being.

 

Organised as a sequence of ‘infinity rings’ across eight storeys, the interior fosters interaction and collaboration across departments. This spatial arrangement embodies the company’s guiding principle of Si Li Ji Ren — the idea of actions that benefit the collective.

 

As the new global headquarters of Infinitus China, the interior is designed to accommodate a wide range of programmes, including collaborative office environments, herbal medicine research facilities, safety assessment labs, and a learning centre for conferences and exhibitions. Using modular systems such as raised floors and partition panels, these diverse functions are integrated within a dynamic, open layout. This adaptable interior infrastructure allows for space to evolve in response to changing needs, supporting both mobility and cross-pollination of ideas while maintaining zones for informal gatherings and focused work.

Infinitus Plaza

Infinitus Plaza is the new global headquarters of Infinitus China. Incorporating work environments designed to nurture connectivity, creativity and entrepreneurship, the new headquarters also includes the group’s herbal medicine research facilities and safety assessment labs as well as a learning centre for conferences and exhibitions.

LEED certifications and recycled material use

Adapting to Guangzhou’s humid, subtropical climate of Lingnan, Infinitus Plaza has been designed and constructed to LEED Gold certification and the equivalent 3-Stars of China’s Green Building Program.

 

The selection of interior materials was guided by their environmental performance and recyclability. Recycled and recyclable materials feature prominently throughout: aluminium ceiling louvers, modular partitions, metal framing systems, reprocessed glass panels, engineered wood veneers, and carpet tiles made from post-consumer recycled fibres. Approximately 20% of all interior materials consist of recycled or recyclable content, reducing the building’s environmental footprint and supporting compliance with international green building standards such as LEED and WELL.

Comfort through smart systems

Infinitus Plaza incorporates smart systems tailored to the humid subtropical climate of Guangzhou. Comfort within the building is achieved through an integrated approach that adapts in aspects of light, ventilation, temperature, and air quality.

 

The building envelope features perforated aluminium sunshades that reduce solar gain, while a lightweight ETFE roof membrane is paired with an evaporative cooling and insulation system. A roof spraying system further reduces radiant heat, enhancing comfort in the light-filled atrium below.

 

A hybrid lighting strategy optimises natural daylight with artificial lighting, managed by smart systems that adapt to occupancy levels and daylight availability. Zoning and grouping controls increase energy efficiency, while stairwell lightings are fitted with motion sensors and time-delay switches.

 

Indoor and outdoor ventilation is optimised through continuous monitoring. Indoor air quality is ensured by CO₂ and PM2.5 sensors with a fresh air linkage system on office floors, and CO monitoring systems in underground garages, ensuring a healthy, humid, and fresh environment for all users.
