Qiao Shao Wan Contemporary Art Center is located on one side of Qian Shao Village office. The existing buildings on site aligned as a diagonal. By using this diagonal, the parallelogram grid has an angle with the road, which leaves a wide open public space in front of the art center.

The whole building is composed as two major structures: the lower building and the above steel structure roof. These two parts of buildings create three different layers of space: first floor of interior art center space; terrace on the outdoor big roof; outdoor mezzanine between two building structures.
