The design pays attention to the relationship between the building and the environment, instead of simply imitating the natural form or pretending to hide the building in a low-key. Rather, it gives the architectural narrative in a generous attitude and makes it live in peace with nature. On the other hand, the design also responds to the natural conditions and climatic characteristics of the site, so as to get along with the environment to the greatest extent.

The main building has four floors. Through the stacking and dislocation of horizontal blocks, the functional problems are solved and the space is created at the same time. The outer skin of the building is a rectangular tube inserted obliquely into the ground, with four faces exposed to the ground, forming a “package” for the main body of the building. The two systems form a strong interleaving between the body and the epidermis: some body blocks insert outside the inclined epidermis to form a triangular “bulge”. There also are gaps between the inclined planes and the main body in some positions, forming a number of sheltered semi outdoor activity spaces, providing users with different experiences.

The double roofs of the building are in line with the desert climate. The steel roof avoids direct sunlight on the second roof to make the indoor temperature too high. The temperature difference formed by the shadow (between the direct sunlight area and the shadow area) also generates wind, which further reduces the indoor energy consumption in summer and improves the comfort of the space. The perforated design is conducive to the passage of the wind and forms a dramatic light and shadow effect, adding a romantic atmosphere to the semi outdoor space.
