Project Overview
The project site is a sports field that belongs to the group's headquarters, and a new modern conference centre will be built on top of it. In this limited space, which is 110 meters long and 50 meters wide, it is necessary to ensure a high degree of compatibility with the original group building and environment, while maintaining a physical connection to the main tower.
Therefore, how to solve the complex transportation system in this project, while connecting the old and the new with a unique shape is the core point of the whole design.

Project Brief
The creation of large-scale and completely irregular "clouds" (white undulating corridors) in a very limited space was initially considered by the team to be quite risky and radical, but when the freehand and flowing shapes originated from logical analysis and finally led to function, the development of all spaces slowly took root and was established. In the dialogue between the huge structure and the building itself, we don't want the traditional occlusion to interfere, and the one-size-fits-all thinking that opens up the established becomes the only truth, and it is also a choice to hold the pipa and half-cover the face.
Project Innovation/Need
In terms of form, we continue the feeling of lightness, cleanliness and floating of the clouds, and the structure is small and large at the top, slowly diverging into sheets from the bottom to the top, and sometimes diving to the ground or middle height, avoiding the over-flattening of the white volumes and connecting to the different curtain wall systems of the tower and the conference centre. All the columns fall in the water feature, and the clouds shade the road, and the unique shape also brings great structural difficulties.
Different from traditional three-dimensional space projects, the second and third floors of the project are connected outdoors, and several white curved columns support the huge building mass above, forming huge cantilevers from the outside, and the interior becomes a grey space with a cave-like feeling. It's hard to define whether this space is inside or outside, but from the outside, it is indeed part of the building.
Design Challenge
In order to solve the staggered functions in the limited space, we have established two sets of logical systems: one is the path system based on the accessibility of the ground solution function, which has a more open space and a clearer traffic direction, which is mainly manifested in the sense of transparency and order; In the corridor system on the upper floor, we mainly take the connection of design language and the guidance and transition of space as the core of the design, which is mainly manifested in guidance and enclosure. The two sets of logic partially overlap and then act separately in part, naturally forming a unique spatial experience.
Sustainability
1. First of all, about 3,700 square meters of the original trees were preserved. Secondly, the use of mudstone reduces the mining of rough stone, protects the natural ecological environment, and reduces rainwater soil erosion and geological damage. Finally, the use of inorganic cementitious materials reduces VOC emissions and reduces transportation and labour costs.
2. The mud guest stone has the characteristics of ultraviolet resistance, high-temperature resistance, mildew resistance, etc., and does not change colour when exposed to the outdoors for a long time, and the mud guest stone is durable, which reduces the cost of maintenance and replacement.
3. The clay stone can be customized, which reduces waste. The use of inorganic pigments in the clay stone colour reduces chemical pollution.
4. Hyperboloid structure, which reduces material costs, reduces transportation costs, and 30% carbon emissions during transportation.
5. The hyperboloid structure is recyclable, and the recycling rate can reach 60%, which reduces the garbage in the building after demolition.
6. The large cantilever void is less used than land resources.
