This mixed-use project combines SOHO buildings, offices, and retail spaces to make the most of the stunning mountain views. The buildings are oriented towards the mountain and suspended over the retail spaces, allowing users to connect the residential area in the north to the mountains in the south.

A horizontal office building links all of the SOHO buildings from east to west, while a supermarket and shopping center anchor the project, creating a sense of balance and unity.

The sloped site is utilized by dividing the uses into two levels, with a residential-focused underground level and a public-facing shopping area on the first level.

The design includes passages and open terraces that allow the sidewalk to extend through the shops, offering a seamless connection to the breathtaking views.
