建筑设计构思来源于柳州市独特的山形地貌及奇石文化。场地北侧是繁忙的柳太路，这也是场地的主要到达方式。南侧拥有典型的喀斯特地貌，我们希望建筑能够从多个维度与不远处的群峰相互呼应。建筑形体是对场地喀斯特山体的抽象表达，形成一大一小起伏的山峦，后来也被当地人亲切地称为“大螺蛳”和“小螺蛳”。

The design concept comes from the unique local landscape and its stone culture. To the north of the site is the busy Liutai road, it’s the main access to the site. To the south is the typical karst landscape. We hope the architecture can respond to the mountains from multiple perspective. The envelop system of the building is an abstract expression of surrounding mountains, creating a big and a small “mountains”. Affectionately called “big snail” and “small snail” by the locals as snail is one of the most important ingredient of Luosifen.
