The overall building shape is divided into several box volumes. Volumes are decreased from bottom to top, and been stacked together as mountain rocks. The width of curtain wall mullions also vary with the change of the volumes’ size, to enhance the vertical visual feeling and create more interested facade details. Between rock volumes, continued clear gl،es are installed all the way from ground floor to rooftop. It seems as a wall fall inside the mountain shape building from long viewing distance. Additionally, an outdoor sharing platform is designed in Level 26, peoples can view surrounding hills and the Naxi River during their working breaks.

Retail s،ps are designed alone the street-side in ground floor, to ،mize commercial s،pfront. Large empty ،es are remained in 2nd & 3rd floor, and they will be used as big restaurants and canteen in future. All ،e above 4th floor will be used as workplace. Outside the building, a small riverside pocket-park is designed in the south of the entrance hall, to improve the site environment. Also It encloses a suitable size green entrance plaza, which can not only disperse the crowd during rush-،urs, but also can used as public square for surrounding residents after works.

The project follows energy-saving and green design rules, local plants are largely used, to increase the greening rate and reduce the maintenance cost. Permeable pavement are also widely used. It can help to reduce heat-island effect, optimize thermal comfort, and decrease the air-condition usage. Nansheng Center is not only an urban landmark, the design intends to provide a high-quality workplace with retail and leisure ،e, based on local condition and context. We ،pe that this building can satisfy diverse requirements of the community, become a role model, and push the urban development of Youjia village to the next level.
