A fluid trio of interweaving mountains that fuse building and landscape into a shimmering 200-meter dance.
Wangjing SOHO (Chinese: 望京SOHO; pinyin: Wàngjīng SOHO) is a complex of three curvilinear asymmetric skyscrapers in Wangjing in Beijing, China, between central Beijing and Beijing Capital International Airport. The towers contain both office and retail space. Originally the SOHO was designed as a two-tower complex but due to height concerns it was redesigned as a three-tower project featuring towers of lower maximum height. One of the more than a dozen properties developed by SOHO China, the complex officially opened on 20 September 2014. The tallest of the three towers is the seventh-tallest woman-designed building in the world.

Design & Structure
Used advanced parametric modeling to manage the transition from drawing board to the 11,000 structurally glazed units. The design responds to the city's flows and transport links.
Unitized glass curtain walls with horizontal white aluminum louvers. Interiors use low-VOC materials and high-efficiency filters to remove PM2.5 particles.
The towers utilize a reinforced concrete core with a steel frame outside. The orientation and composition are defined to direct visitors to transport hubs.
