The starting point is how to make the new building become a part of the landscape, and how to form a dialogue between the interior space experience and the surroundings; we hope the building can be a container of different urban fragments and act as a sensory medium to experience the scenery. The shape of the land follows with the belt-type lakeshore, which is relatively long and narrow. The building's overall layout complied with the topography and was divided into three volumes based on three different functions.

The Art Display & Exhibition Hall frequently displays contemporary artworks by local artists, therefore, we designed a double-height space to display them. The staircases were utilized to connect different display platforms which are varied in height and can be used to exhibit paintings, sculptures and installation art, or provide art education for children. Moreover, we focused on the visiting path, through which the indoor and outdoor scenes were closely linked together and the scenery became a part of the exhibition.

The Brand Display Center is a single-storey space used for the introduction of Vanke's Tiandi property. During the design process, we consciously lowered the height of the space by the lakeside, in order to avoid the uncontrollable vision and keep the sight inside the park. The Café House was raised to the second floor to bring the waterscape inside, and to provide a better view of the lake.

Because Chongqing is often rainy or foggy, and the building is adjacent to the lake, we finally selected a moderate blue brushed stainless steel as the main material, so that the architecture can show the geometric relationship and space intention even though Chongqing often has a low light circumstance. The frameless glasses were expected to obtain a more continuous view through the windows.
