The former Guosheng Center is a traditional shopping mall layout adjacent to a park, and the purpose of the renovation is to convert the mall into an office and multi-purpose space. Drawing inspiration from the concept of "culture," "scenery," and "utility," the designers internally segmented the commercial space into four office areas, forming a unique endogenous street block pattern. Externally, they opened the circular glass structure at the original mall entrance, reshaping the spatial appearance and creating a new street corner plaza integrated with the subway at the intersection. To harmonize with the urban street corner and the adjacent park, the facade features a combination of ribbon-like long windows and rhythmic colonnades. The design includes open viewing spaces like observation platforms, balconies, terraces, and a rooftop garden, allowing the building to naturally grow, integrate, and become an extension of the park.
