In the collision of new and old cultures, the unique urban characteristics have been retained, and at the same time, the lifestyle of the people of Xindu has been opened. A livable northern new city is rising.  Image Courtesy © ICYWORKS The indoor area of the project is 400 square meters. In conjunction with the irregular and non-traditional layout of the building and the park, the layout of the interior along the main axis of the building was determined at the beginning of the plan. “The axis is clear, the plane is flexible, the changes are orderly, the combination of inside and outside, and the level is rich.” It is the characteristic of Sichuan traditional houses in the treatment of plane space. Sichuan houses are full of local characteristics, flexible and ingenious technology, simple and neat treatment methods, beautiful and natural form. The traditional functional space consideration of the traditional sales space is cancelled, and the display area, leisure area, negotiation area and coffee and beverage area are flexibly and flexibly arranged, and the flowing and blank space provides customers with a free experience.

Most of the brocades are based on the color strips of the meridian, and they are icing on the color strips, so that they have fine textures, prosperous patterns, elegant color combinations, and unique styles. The quality of Shujin is tough and full, the color pattern is beautiful, and the color matching is elegant and unconventional.

Therefore, the project chose white artificial stone, wood-colored finish and copper-like metal as the main material color. While ensuring the space is refreshing and white, it can bring the user a clear and simple feeling in various weathers. The combination of gold and yellow is used, and gold is the color of the most representative sun god bird gold ornament in Chengdu among the artifacts unearthed from the Jinsha site.
