The project is located in Chancheng District, Foshan with a total site area of 7,865 square metres. From the general layout, these are two parcels of land. The design goal is to build two new buildings with different functional requirements, that is a BMW Green Star BEACON project and LEED BD+C gold certification, human-centred multifunctional showroom with its internal space integrating social contact and office. A corridor runs through the two buildings to form a single building volume from the appearance.
From the very beginning of the scheme design, the design team have been thinking about sustainable architecture as the core of the design. Inspired by the Qilou, a unique architectural style in Lingnan, local buildings' adaptation to climate, solution to shading, ventilation, and heat dissipation in particular, was taken into full consideration to deal with high temperature weather and urban heat island effect.
