In the evolution of spatial history, the paradigm shift from "mining-factory" to "landscape-art" signifies a transformation in the relationship between "nature" and "urban." Addressing this change and establishing a connection between nature and the city, as well as the past and the future, becomes a paramount concern.

Specifically for the site, the design needs to arrange eight independent buildings on this triangular plot with a maximum height difference exceeding 10 meters and limited space. Another major challenge in the design is how to minimize negative space and enhance land utilization in this irregularly shaped plot.

As a headquarters park, the buildings have placed extremely high demands on both commercial value representation and internal space quality. While meeting the basic conditions of good lighting, ventilation, and clear office space, there is a need to create as many diverse leisure spaces as possible. Simultaneously, the design must adapt to future trends in more personalized office environments.

Based on these fundamental value judgments and after multiple rounds of scheme comparisons, we finally found the architectural form that best suits the site – filling the natural landscape with a branching Y shape.

Unlike the 90° square box, the 120° form demonstrates better adaptability to complex terrain. The strip units, compared to block units, can better fill the triangular space and reduce negative spaces between the site's edges and the buildings.

The design involves rotating two buildings in the central part of the site and utilizing the terrain to create a coherent and flowing internal public space. This ensures that the internal square meets both the public needs with sufficient scale and provides a naturally appealing and spacious environment.

A strip of public space runs through the site, connecting the east and west pedestrian entrances, resolving the elevation differences between different terraced levels. It extends in various directions, interconnecting the eight standalone buildings.

Located in the canyon, the site boasts excellent views in various directions. Therefore, the buildings step back as much as possible in different directions, ensuring that each level has an outdoor terrace to provide good outdoor recreational spaces. The rooftop garden design takes equipment into consideration, using partition walls to define activity spaces and equipment placement areas, increasing the utilization of rooftop space, and simultaneously considering the building's fifth facade.

The architectural façade follows the logic of the form design, distinguishing between the lateral and end sections of the Y-shape through two design languages. The lateral side emphasizes the natural extension of the Y-shape through continuous horizontal lines. The end sections maximize glass areas to emphasize the abundant panoramic views.
