The Aedas Hangzhou 1:150 Office Building Model is a precisely crafted architectural scale model produced by QZY Models within a 15-day cycle. Located in Hangzhou, this model showcases Aedas’ innovative twin-tower design inspired by the lotus flower, combining exquisite detail and cultural symbolism to enhance architectural visualization and stakeholder communication.
The 1:150 scale provides a balanced presentation of overall form and architectural elements. The model vividly portrays the lotus-root-like jagged façade, aluminum and glass panels, and twin symmetrical towers. QZY Models uses advanced techniques such as laser cutting, CNC machining, and meticulous handcrafting to recreate textures, shadows, and structural intricacies, faithfully reflecting Aedas’ design intent.
This scale facilitates both display and spatial comprehension, offering viewers a clear understanding of massing, porosity of cores, and the building’s relationship with its urban context in Hangzhou.
Physical models deliver tactile and spatial clarity digital renderings cannot fully replicate. They transform complex architectural visions into tangible, comprehensible forms, enhancing client engagement, design reviews, and presentations.
QZY Models excels in producing custom, high-fidelity models that facilitate collaborative decision-making, marketing, and public outreach. Their models act as compelling storytelling tools, integrating cultural and environmental narratives for deeper project appreciation.
QZY Models creates a broad range of models including:
Architectural Models: Building exteriors and structural forms.
Interior Models: Detailed layouts and furnishings.
Landscape Models: Terrain and environmental surroundings.
Industrial Models: Manufacturing plants and machinery.
Urban Models: Large-scale city planning and infrastructure.
This comprehensive portfolio enables QZY Models to support diverse project stages and design requirements globally.
Aedas’ design integrates local cultural inspiration—the lotus flower of West Lake—into a twin-tower complex that merges office and residential uses on a constrained urban site. With staggered refuge floors and vertically connected cores, it creates a porous, dynamic form that enhances natural light and ventilation.
The bronze-colored aluminum and glass façade reflects sunlight distinctively, symbolizing a harmonious blend of nature and modernity in Hangzhou’s urban fabric, making it a vital model for architectural communication.
The model is based in Hangzhou, China, a city noted for its rich cultural heritage and rapid urban development. The location informs the architectural style, sustainability goals, and contextual relevance of the model.
Producing the model locally at QZY Models’ Shenzhen facility enables direct collaboration, ensuring the model embodies regional architectural details and client requirements for accuracy and cultural resonance.
QZY Models achieves this rapid turnaround by integrating digital design tools, such as CAD and 3D modeling, with CNC machining and laser cutting for precise fabrication. Skilled artisans perform assembly, painting, and finishing with close quality control.
The streamlined workflow prioritizes efficiency without sacrificing detail, allowing the production of highly detailed and accurate models within tight deadlines.
Technology is crucial for precision and realism. CAD software generates accurate digital blueprints used for CNC milling and laser engraving, creating flawless component parts.
3D printing assists in fabricating complex geometries, complemented by hand-finishing techniques that apply textures, assemble parts, and add realism. QZY Models’ hybrid approach ensures advanced technological accuracy combined with artisanal quality.
Absolutely. Physical models provide tangible insights into architectural form and urban context, improving communication between architects, clients, investors, and the public.
QZY Models’ precise and detailed models reduce misunderstandings, speed up approvals, and serve as powerful marketing tools. They foster emotional connections and deeper understanding, which are vital for project acceptance and successful development.
“At QZY Models, we view the Aedas Hangzhou 1:150 Office Building Model as a fusion of culture, technology, and craftsmanship. Our goal is to translate architectural innovation into a physical narrative that resonates with clients and communities. By combining advanced fabrication with detailed finishing, we create models that not only inform but inspire, enhancing project communication and stakeholder engagement.” – Richie Ren, Founder of QZY Models
QZY Models begins each project with detailed consultations to understand specific design elements and client objectives. Materials, scale, and finishing techniques are customized to reflect the building’s unique features and context.
Clients are involved throughout the production process for feedback and adjustments. Multiple quality checks ensure the final model meets high standards of accuracy and craftsmanship.
The 1:150 scale is ideal for representing office buildings because it balances visible detail and manageable size. It effectively displays building mass, façade articulation, and site relationships, while remaining convenient for presentations and transport.
This scale supports comprehensive viewing of architectural form and urban integration without overwhelming space or losing key features.
Physical models are essential when tactile interaction, spatial understanding, and stakeholder engagement are critical. They offer real-world perspectives on scale, proportion, and context that digital visuals cannot fully convey.
They are particularly valuable during client presentations, public consultations, and marketing events, providing immersive experiences that foster confidence and collaboration.

We offer comprehensive 3D printing services, including file design optimization, physical model printing, and post-processing services such as sanding and painting. Our 3D printing capabilities allow us to produce detailed and accurate models quickly and efficiently, with a wide variety of materials to meet the specific needs of your project.
Advantages of 3D Printing
Complex Shapes: One of the key benefits of 3D printing is its ability to create highly complex and intricate geometries that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. This makes it ideal for producing intricate architectural models, sculptures, and industrial components.
Fast Turnaround: 3D printing can significantly reduce production time. Once the design is finalized, we can quickly move from concept to finished model, providing faster delivery compared to other techniques like CNC machining or handcrafting.
Cost-Effective: For small runs or prototypes, 3D printing is generally more cost-effective than other manufacturing methods, especially when dealing with complex designs that would require expensive molds or tooling in traditional fabrication.
Versatility of Materials: We offer a wide range of materials to suit different needs, including transparent, semi-transparent, and white resins, as well as ceramics, metals, red wax, and nylon. Each material has its unique properties, such as varying degrees of hardness, flexibility, and durability, providing greater flexibility in model creation.
Material Options: 3D printing supports a variety of materials, including:
Transparent and semi-transparent resins
Ceramics for more rigid and heat-resistant models
Metal for industrial-grade models
Nylon for durable and flexible prints
Red Wax for precision casting molds
Other Specialty Materials like white resin for detailed models
Disadvantages of 3D Printing
While 3D printing has many benefits, it does come with certain limitations:
Material Degradation: Some materials, especially those used for prototypes, can be prone to discoloration or deformation over time, especially when exposed to heat, light, or humidity.
Limited Surface Finishing: Certain materials used in 3D printing do not accept paint or other finishing treatments well, which can limit their use for final presentation models without additional post-processing.
Lower Precision: Although 3D printing is highly accurate for most applications, it has slightly lower precision compared to laser cutting or CNC machining, particularly in terms of fine details and surface smoothness.
Post-Processing Required: Most 3D-printed models require additional work after printing, such as sanding, polishing, or painting, to achieve the desired finish and smooth out imperfections.
Applications of 3D Printing
Our 3D printing services can be applied across various industries, including:
Architectural models
Industrial prototyping
