I expect that this building could enlighten us to think the relevance among human, nature and society.

Huaxin office complex locates to the west of Guilin road, with a green land at the south of its entry.  This green land owns 6 old camphor trees and opens to the urban main road — these two facts become the starting point of the design, and hence to lead to two basic strategies of the business center: One is to elevate the main body of building up to second floor in order to maximize the open green space on the ground; Second is to establish an intimate and interactive relationship with 6 trees while protecting them in the site.
