Pyramid Residential building, Kunshan, China

Standing 100 metres (330 feet) tall, the bizarre yet popular building in Kunshan’s Huaqiao district is a part of a residential and commercial complex, which was completed in 2013 and has two other 12-storey structures.

All three buildings have a protruding and slanted surface on two sides, and from some angle the buildings look like pyramids. The other two exterior walls of each building are normal vertical ones.

Masters’ Architectural Office, the firm that designed the complex, were inspired by the traditional Chinese terraced rice fields, which are built into mountain slopes.

The Shanghai-based firm said it also took ideas from parkour, an urban activity which sees people running and jumping between buildings and is loved by young Chinese city dwellers. Apparently, the firm hopes the buildings would be associated with the trending and modern sport.

Built : 2013
