Designed to eliminate human destruction of natural monuments, the imagined building would be directly integrated into the limestone hills, seamlessly melding the man-made creation into the natural setting.

The architecture is designed to reinforce the natural limestone hill with a steel frame, to allow the natural and constructed structures to rest against each other while preventing the hill from future collapse.

Intriguing features of the mixed-use development include a sky community deck, a bird nest farm, a vertical surface plantation, and a cave rock climbing area:
