项目位于杭州新世界项目北座(E区)。大楼的北侧靠近城市干道石乡高架桥；西侧和南侧是小溪路；南面可以看到新世界核心街区；在东南，它和新世界集团总部被河隔开。

The project is located in the north block(E block) of Hangzhou New World project. The north side of the building is near to the urban arterial road Shixiang viaduct; In the west side and south side, it is the creek road; southward, the New World core block can be seen; in the southeast, it and the headquarters of New World Group are separated by the river.

该方案使两个“L”型平面相互呼应，由上向下扩展，形成了后置花园的形式。两个“L”在5层高度上合二为一，总体上是高山深谷，封闭但不完整。这不仅阻碍了石巷高架桥对新瓦块的不利影响，而且使南、北核块体具有广阔的视野，降低了对环境的压迫感。

This plan makes the two “L” type plane echo each other, expanded from above to below with the form of set-back garden. The two “L” combine into one in the height of 5 levels, and it is likes high mountain and deep valley as a whole, enclosed but not integrated. It not only hinders the disadvantageous influences of Shixiang viaduct to the block of New Wold, but also makes the south headquarter and north of core block have a broad view, decreasing the oppressing sensation of the environment.

从石乡高架桥的角度看，这一独特的模式打破了北侧单一的直线包围，也给我们留下了深刻的印象。

From the view of Shixiang viaduct, the unique model breaks the single and straight enclosing in the north side, and also makes us impressed.

设计采用条形窗和暗漆膜玻璃从外包裹建筑主体，内部采用轻玻璃幕墙和穿插造型，增强了整个建筑的雕塑感。

The design adopts the bar window and dark enamelled glass to wrap the main body of building from the outside, and inside, it applies light glass curtain wall and interspersing model, to strengthen the sculptural sense of the whole building.

为了沿河回荡梯田景观，创造舒适的工作环境，设计采用了缠绕堆叠立体景观和垂直绿化设计，使整个建筑成为原有景观的延伸部分。此外，类似露台的设置模式委婉地贯穿建筑南北，使所有内部空间都能享受到全方位的绿色立体景观。

In order to echo terrace landscape along the river and create comfortable work environment, the design adopts winding and stacking stereoscopic landscape and vertical greening design, to make the whole building become the extended parts of the original landscape. In addition, the set-back model similar to the terrace euphemistically runs through the north and south of the building, to make all of the inner used space can enjoy the all-around green stereoscopic landscape.
