We created a void space within the building and arranged the offices around it. This allows for an exchange of heat and ensures that fresh air is constantly recycled. In the summer, cool air from outside is brought in to replace the hot air inside, and in the winter, the building acts like a greenhouse to preserve heat.

We're thrilled to announce that our project took first place in the international competition! The climate in Ningxia can be quite extreme, with scorching summers and freezing winters. To create a comfortable working environment, we had to get creative with our design strategies.

To combat the heat, we created a void space within the building and arranged the offices around it. This allows for an exchange of heat and ensures that fresh air is constantly recycled. In the summer, cool air from outside is brought in to replace the hot air inside, and in the winter, the building acts like a greenhouse to preserve heat.

Overall, it was a challenging but rewarding project, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Congratulations to the entire team!
