Two blocks of the project are connected by a three-dimensional city square. Corridors and walkways of different scales are interspersed among several undulating commercial complexes, leading people to stroll from busy ground streets to three-dimensional parks, and wandering between buildings and landscapes.

The central area of ​​the base is composed of some slope-roofed huts scattered on the green carpet, presenting a small village-like environment, providing a pleasant urban space for large-scale urban projects. Small bridges connect villages from one block to another, connecting rockery and flowing water, forming a poetic painting.

The tower located outside the base is like a mountain. The vertical sunshade glass louvers provide shade and light transmission, providing pleasant light and wind for the interior space. It flows on the mountain like a waterfall, making the whole building full of artistic conception. The tower plays the role of the distant view of the mountain and the waterscape of the pool, waterfall, stream, pool, etc. in the base inherits the image and materializes the metaphor, blurring the edge between the distant view and the near view.
