This show and sales space aims to integrate the interior, architecture, and landscape design together to form a show and experience area like art museum. Water is the theme in this case. The architectural design conveys the relation of water, architecture and nature by a transparent concept.

The interior is show area and meeting area which is separated by a dimensional lattice wall. Aside the meeting area is a water pond surrounded by continuous glass wall, which becomes the key interior landscape.  

The luminous water curtain wall for exterior elevation of the architecture echoes the theme of water. The luminous water curtain wall consists by LED light strips, running light strip looks like running water, which is reflected in the water pond.

The water curtain wall has two surfaces, one is the exterior elevation of the architecture and the other is the interior background wall. A large pool is designed in front of the architecture and it looks like that the whole building is floating on the water.

A 50-meter corridor cuts surface of the pool and connects the entrance of the sales from which the guests can access the interior space slowly.

Before accessing the entrance, guests pass a16-meter-high entrance of light marble wall. It is so high and its side surface looks like a flexagon from distance. Entering the compacted corridor from the open exterior space, then enter the open interior area, which forms a rhythm of compact and open space.
