 The building site is bordered by roads on two sides, with wide visibility - the 40-meter wide Huizhong Road to the west and the 30-meter wide Municipal Services North Road to the south, with high-rise residential buildings on the opposite side of the road. On the east side, the building is adjacent to the plaza of the retracted Health Insurance Board building, and on the north side, it is adjacent to the two-storey Sui Sang Restaurant. The building's volume and appearance reflect the internal space use, and it adopts a three-stage treatment: the commercial space on the ground floor to the lobby on the third floor is the base section, the hotel accommodation on the fourth to fourteenth floors is the body section, and the fitness facilities and the roof on the fifteenth floor are the roof section, with a total building height of 59 meters.

The main feature of the façade is formed by metal-clad lattice shading panels. The west-facing vertical shading panels are turned perpendicular to the angle of incidence of the west-facing sunlight, which not only effectively isolate the sunlight from the sun and create shadows, but also block the public's view from the street and maintain a sense of privacy inside the guest rooms. Horizontal south-facing sunshades can achieve the same purpose. The slender proportions of the lattice shading panels contrast with the thick volume of the stone wall in the background, revealing a simple, modern and noble quality.
