The design inspiration is drawn from the harmonious beauty of nature and the diversity of human society. With "ecological integration" as the core concept, it emphasizes the interactive relationship between humans and nature, and between architecture and the environment. It aims to create an open, inclusive, and green public space where every user can experience the warmth and sense of belonging of home.

The building's façade incorporates a significant amount of natural materials, such as local stone, wood, and greenery, fostering an atmosphere of harmonious coexistence with the surrounding environment. The designers have carefully considered the building’s orientation, lighting, and ventilation, seamlessly connecting the interior with the exterior landscape to create an open space that feels in close touch with nature.

Sustainability is a key focus of the architectural design, which integrates energy-efficient strategies and technologies, utilizing natural resources such as solar and wind energy to supplement power needs and minimize environmental impact. In addition, environmentally-friendly materials such as low-carbon building materials and recyclable components were selected to ensure a reduced carbon footprint throughout the building’s lifecycle.

This project is not just the creation of a physical space but also a reflection and expression of culture and history. In every detail of the design, the architect has infused respect for local traditions with a foresight of future lifestyles. The building’s form, through the dialogue between modern minimalist lines and traditional elements, weaves together time and space, embodying the evolution of culture and the transmission of architectural language from the past to the future.
