Taking inspiration from Flamenco, the designer attaches a red spiral staircase to the three-dimensional "ten" character as a starting point to connect the first and second floors, representing the heart and soul of the whole space. Unbridled, graceful, and vivacious Flamenco's zeal matches the vibe of the metal staircase exhibition hall perfectly. On the second story, corridors and associated exhibition platforms and areas are constructed with a steel frame that is suspended above the concrete beams, leaving the concrete beams and columns totally exposed. The closed loop of the spatial moving line is completed by a straight stairway that rises to the first level from the opposite end. The entrance hall, water bar, metal component display area, multimedia technology display area, negotiating space, conference room, etc. are all dispersed along this spatial moving line in turn, which look natural and harmonious.

In this steel and metal space, it's as if we are facing an aristocracy from Barcelona's historic ballroom through time and space, with the dancers twisting their waists to the music. Listening to Lao Tzu's Taoist philosophy and comprehending the essence of Yin and Yang harmony, as well as hardness and softness, we seem travel back in time to the fifth century BC.

The metal steps' intricate design wizardry is also extremely beautiful. The stage's red circle platform at the bottom serves as a sort of miniature version that progressively draws attention to the main character. On top of a water-sensitive metal outfit with futuristic design elements, light blue transparent glass lace is used as decoration. People may see the dancer's distinctive, exquisite white skin when they glance down at her. The designer's carefully picked stone materials and the red edge are intertwined. The toughened glass handrail's edge glows a bright blue-green in contrast to the light, looking flexible and beautiful.

The whole space is decorated with gray terrazzo floor, which echoes with the strong column structure. The white wall is like a huge curtain that sets off the metal spiral staircase in the middle.
