Small volume, light intervention, with the light attitude of "cultural colony", to create an open and sharing public space.

CULTURAL AND COMMERCIAL COMPLEX

The city's leisure lifestyle is quietly changing.

The commercial retail space is dispersed within the two-floor public podium, shaping a porous spatial form using elevation, receding platforms, sky corridors, and sunken yard, contributing to the organic composite of diversified indoor and outdoor cultural spaces and commercial spaces, and integrating culture and art into daily life.

LANDSCAPE SCROLL, POETIC JIANGNAN.

On the street side, the façade adopts a double-layer skin, covering the perforated aluminum curtain wall outside the glass curtain wall, and selects the natural picture of Yandang Mountain with wandering clouds and shadows, and then connected to form a complete "landscape scroll", shaping the image of the urban interface on a public scale.

On the riverside, the vertical rods of perforated metal plates are used as a metaphor for the keys and strings of the piano.
