The site is in FuYang, surrounded by small hills and water on three sides. This area was once home to water birds, and the way they spread their wings in flight is full of energy and movement. This matches the clients vision perfectly. Thats why the architect chose the flying bird as the design inspiration. The Xinhe Headquarters shows how an office building can work in harmony with nature. Instead of fighting against the environment, the design embraces it, making the building a place where people and nature connect in a positive way.
