The total floor area of Limestone Gallery is about 800 square meters with two floors inside, including the exhibition, conference and service area. Rooftop is used for sightseeing and the bottom floor is designed as outdoor lounge, as well as outdoor exhibitions and performances. As a result of variation in topography and existence of unstable giant rocks, the shape of the building looks like a non-symmetrical crescent. A large portion of the construction work, such as site leveling and large size materials transporting, was done manually by local labors, due to the particular location of the site.

The facade of Limestone Gallery is designed with curved glass wall, creating magnificent panoramic view of the Haiwei canyon for users. The highlighted horizontal lines of the facade reinforce the relationship between the building and the rock. Meanwhile, glass texture helps communicate with its context, by using transparency to make contrast with solid mountains. The design team believes that no man-made pieces are not comparable with the magic of nature, who ‘designed’ great mountain, river and special landscapes. Thus, the best way of communication is to be modest, using the simplicity of architecture to reflect the complexity of nature.
