Zhenshi New Materials Industrial Park Phase I | YS-ONE DESIGN

Zhenshi New Materials Industrial Park Phase is located in the Science and Innovation Zone of Tongxiang City, with a total area of approximately 450,000 square meters in its first phase. Upon completion, it is expected to serve as a centralized production and R&D base for Zhenshi New Materials, becoming a demonstration park for the next generation of Zhenshi industrial factories.

Headquarters Factory
The factory is the headquarters. Leveraging its scale, we aim to redefine the concept of a future factory, transforming it from merely a production and logistics base into a significant image showcase for the industrial company. This approach breaks down the traditional impression barriers caused by differing priorities and cost considerations between factories and offices.

Concept · Hexagonal Warrior
Nine-Square Grid Layout
From the initial planning stage, we sought to create an efficient hub-type three-dimensional logistics layout integrating production, distribution, and R&D. This design allows the entire park to form an interwoven network of three-dimensional分流 (diversion) during production, work, and visits, resulting in an orderly grid space and creating a three-dimensional hexagonal warrior.

Core of the Brain-Machine
The image area revolves around the data core and cultural exhibition hall. The industrial core acts as the brain of the park, serving as both a spiritual fortress and a gatekeeper, controlling and driving the entire park. The core building, shaped like a massive hexagon, exudes an oversized sense of solemnity. Its facade features gently changing surfaces, offering a gaze reminiscent of the wilderness.

Wings of R&D
On either side of the brain-machine core, the R&D buildings form a three-dimensional  “ZS,” symbolizing the multi-dimensional corporate culture of the owner. Horizontal linear grilles enhance the building’s green design while adding a touch of delicacy  to the park’s new materials technology.

Crystal of Technology
Behind the image area lies the factory zone. We use the metaphor of crystallization, with hexagons interweaving to form a transparent  facade. Logistics is the hub of the production area, with heavy trucks coming and going. The sculptural unloading canopies serve as a base, highlighting the  delicate  warehouse facade above, which resembles heat vents, shining like a bunker. Rooftop parking is integrated with photovoltaic systems, forming an efficient top-level design.

Valley of Ecology
The valley, located at the end of the axis, is a strip of green space between factories. Functionally, it provides a visitor route  for park guests and enhances the environmental quality for employees commuting to and from work. Using the concept of a “valley,” we address the striped barrier space  compressed by the factory area, softening the coldness of glass with a “green valley.” Linear connections of walkways, stacked stones, water features, and LED giant screens create a three-dimensional super-linear park.
