PES-Architects has been announced as the winner of the invited international competition for the Runke Technology Office Park in Lianyungang City in the Northern Jiangsu Province, East China.

PES-Architect's, Green Office Garden concept consists of 6 individual buildings and has a total above ground area of 163000m2. The design comprises of four "Z" shaped interlocking volumes around a central green garden, an iconic, cubic tower complex, which at its highest point is 100 meters high and defines the office park's entrance and an elongated bordering sports building containing indoor games facilities and is topped by two soccer pitches and two tennis courts.
