This project was a first for PepsiCo in East Asia. An R&D center that combines both Food and Beverage, specifically servicing the East Asia market. The center was envisioned as a small world that could provide everything the research staff would need to work within the industrial park.

The double height, glass oval hall and spiral staircase links the Traditional Chinese Medicine library with the Culinary workshop and main workplace while the roof garden brings daylight to the workplace below and provides a contextual link to the surrounding farmland and country that is the source for much of the innovation.
