The viewing glass box embodies the core design philosophy of "seamless integration of ultimate transparency and safety." Through innovative glass structural design and meticulous craftsmanship, it delivers an immersive, boundary-defying visual experience for visitors. This architectural space, with its modern aesthetic and deep connection to the natural surroundings, offers a cutting-edge yet reliable solution for waterfront commercial developments.
The main viewing area features an innovative frameless design with five fully transparent surfaces. This achieves ultimate clarity that seamlessly blends the space with its surroundings, creating a harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. The three-dimensional, immersive glass space offers visitors a futuristic visual experience unlike anything in their daily lives.
To ensure structural stability, the system employs laminated multi-layer glass, where exceptional structural load-bearing performance synergizes with the cantilevered glass fins to provide collaborative support. It is enhanced with embedded titanium plates to improve wind and seismic resistance. Hidden connection systems—including titanium plates inset into the glass, mechanical screws, and stainless steel clamping plates—not only preserve clean aesthetics and visual continuity but also deliver refined detailing. The support framework incorporates an innovative three-way millimeter-level adjustment system, enabling precise on-site alignment to accommodate construction tolerances. This high-precision connection method significantly enhances both construction flexibility and structural stability. Additionally, the floor glass system incorporates fire-resistant functionality, ensuring safety under extreme conditions.
