Located in the Shunyi District of Beijing, the project is 35 kilometers away from downtown Beijing and close to the Capital International Airport. The demonstration area is situated at the southeast corner of the site adjacent to the intersection of Qian 'an East Road and Longyuan Road, where the transportation is convenient and the passenger flow is large, conducive to carrying out publicity and exhibition activities.

The floor plan of the building is spread out along the central water courtyard to form an enclosed courtyard layout. The activities of visiting, reception, negotiation, recreation, office and logistics are all carried out around the water courtyard. The zigzagging corridor maximizes the landscape, and the quiet water feature can relieve the fast pace of life and bring people the philosophical experience of "wise people enjoy water".

In terms of the deductive design of building volume, the architects draw inspiration from the mountains of Wangchuan in Lantian. Based on the shape of mountain, they start from the ground to design a cascading, well-arranged layout, and the cornice of the building extracts the rich levels of the traditional cornice, such as bucket, arch, warping, ang, rise, and reinterprets them with modern and concise design language.

The entrance of the building and the façade on the second floor are equipped with grating structure, the mountain pattern is carved by changing the length and density of the members. The light is softened through the grating and gives the interior space a quiet and mysterious feeling. Walking from the outdoor space into the indoor space is a process of changing from bustle to peace, people move around in the building, the strong light and shadow become dappled. At this moment, people can no longer hear the sound of water flowing, but only the sound of cool breeze, which makes people feel as if they are in the thick woods, enjoying the ultimate experience of light, shadow and movement.
