DJI Sky City—DJI’s global headquarters located in Shenzhen—is an architectural icon designed by Foster + Partners. The twin towers showcase a futuristic, suspended structure connected by skybridges, requiring exceptional façade engineering and precision materials.
As a professional architectural glass supplier for high-tech office buildings, we were honored to provide engineered glass solutions that support the project’s advanced aesthetic vision and structural demands.
Our Role as the Glass Supplier
DJI Sky City’s design emphasizes transparency, lightweight visual expression, and high structural safety. To support the project’s engineering complexity, we supplied multiple types of high-performance glass, including:
Laminated Safety Glass – Used in key façade areas and elevated walkways to ensure maximum impact resistance and occupant safety.
Insulated Low-E Glass – Enhancing energy efficiency, UV protection, and thermal comfort for the large-span office spaces.
Ultra-Clear (Low-Iron) Glass – Providing premium clarity for DJI’s signature open, modern office aesthetic.
Custom-Curved and Non-Standard Glass Panels – Matching the tower’s advanced geometry and suspended structural elements.
These solutions reflect our capability as a trusted Shenzhen façade glass supplier for world-class architectural projects.
Challenges & Engineering Requirements
As one of the most technically complex office buildings in China, DJI Sky City brought significant engineering challenges:
1. Complex Structural Geometry
The towers feature floating volumes, skybridges, and cantilevered structures.
To achieve precision installation, we provided custom curved panels and controlled glass tolerances at sub-millimeter levels.
2. High Safety Requirements for Elevated Spaces
Laminated glass used in high-altitude areas—sky corridors, viewing platforms, and suspended meeting spaces—required:
Multi-layer lamination
High-strength interlayers
Increased impact rating
All glass complied with strict standards for high-rise public buildings.
3. Energy Performance & Light Comfort
Given the large glass coverage and Shenzhen’s subtropical climate, we optimized Low-E configurations to balance natural daylight with improved solar heat control, reducing HVAC load.
4. Precision Installation Coordination
The suspended tower design demanded accurate installation sequencing.
Our team collaborated with façade engineers to provide:
Installation guides
Fit tolerance data
Handling specifications for oversized panels
Project Outcomes
After completion, our glass solutions contributed significantly to DJI Sky City’s international-level architectural expression:
Iconic Transparency & Lightness
Ultra-clear and curved glass delivers the “floating building” effect envisioned by the architects.
Energy Saving & Environmental Comfort
Low-E insulated units help maintain stable indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption.
Safety & Long-Term Durability
Multi-layer laminated glass ensures structural stability for elevated public spaces.
Enhanced Brand Image
The glass façade supports DJI’s identity as a global technology leader, reflecting innovation and precision.
Feedback from the developer and design team highlighted our ability to meet demanding specifications and support complex façade engineering.
Sustainability Contribution
Material selection followed green building principles:
High-performance Low-E coatings reduce long-term energy use
Recyclable raw materials support eco-friendly construction
Durable lamination ensures extended product lifecycle
This aligns perfectly with the project’s sustainability vision and Shenzhen’s environmental building initiatives.
Conclusion
The DJI Sky City headquarters demonstrates how advanced architectural glass solutions can elevate modern corporate buildings. As an experienced glass supplier for high-rise offices and landmark headquarters, we delivered products that meet world-class standards for safety, clarity, energy performance, and design innovation.
This project reinforces our commitment to supporting cutting-edge architectural developments across China and the global market.
