Two simple interlocking tubular volumes formed this jewel-like project located near the embassy zone of Beijing. The translucent volume on the west sits on the ground, houses exhibition and administration functions. The hollowed out volume with Chinese lattice window on the east is a multi-functional space. It is raised on stilts, with a sunken courtyard underneath. Suspended in this lofty semi-outdoor space are various platforms and meeting rooms.
