This is a new experiment in mountain architecture, where pure design blends seamlessly with the natural landscape, allowing the building to grow and become a part of the mountainside scenery. The architecture merges with the landscape, and the landscape enhances the architecture.

The design inspiration is drawn from the spirit of sailing, symbolizing the courage to forge ahead, the pursuit of freedom, and the spirit of exploration. Through clever design, we transform the rocky terrain into a dramatic cliff, carefully selecting the optimal angles to maximize the use of the surrounding landscape. Using clean and elegant curves, we shape an airborne "yacht," as if plunging into the river, creating a visually striking effect.

Based on your description, to enhance the sensory experience of being by the river, we propose designing the entire building with projections in different directions, creating multiple cantilevered viewing decks. This will allow visitors to fully enjoy the unobstructed views of the vast Jialing River. Such a design will blend harmoniously with the surrounding natural environment, seamlessly integrating with the characteristics of the site.

The flowing curves of the building create a sense of movement and rhythm, while the elongated lines emphasize the transparency and openness of the viewing areas.

To achieve the desired effect and provide ample space for outdoor activities, the cantilevered portion of the building along the river is designed with a 60-degree angled curtain wall.

The building emphasizes a sense of transparency and lightness. The river-facing side of the building features a full glass curtain wall structure, achieving excellent transparency and creating a seamless integration between the indoor and outdoor spaces, reflecting the subtle relationship between the building and nature.

Chongqing is a city where mountains and water converge, and the buildings that best represent its spirit and landmarks are undoubtedly those that seamlessly blend into the environment of the mountains. These buildings incorporate our understanding of the city and nature into their design and have become an important part of this beautiful mountain city.
