我们对连在一起的店面很感兴趣，因为当地的城市形象，维兰达(Veranda)。当我们在城市里散步时，阳台总是提供通道。它就像一棵混凝土树，下雨或炎热的时候，很多人躲在高耸的店面下。这一形象成为我国独特的城市景观。此外，我们希望在环形交叉路口周围有一个广场。所以我们举起了看上去像漂浮的阳台。

We have interested in the connected overhangs of storefronts because the local urban image, the Veranda. The veranda always offer passageway when we walk in the city. It's just like a concret tree, when it rains or the hot day, a lot of people take shelter under the the overhangs of storefronts. This image become the unique city landscape in our country. Besides, we want having a plaza surround to the roundabout. So we lift the veranda which looks like floating.

我们沿着场地的边界把阳台抬起来。当这座办公楼工作时，分离也有助于节约能源。在桥式结构下，下雨时我们可以自由穿行.由于这种新型悬垂是与主建筑分开的，所以雨可能是两面掉下来取乐。我们希望，随着时间的推移，浮桥将改变广场和道路上的阴影。

We lift the veranda along the site boundry. The seperation also helps to save energy when this office building works. Under a bridge-like structure, we can walkthrough freely when it rains. Since the new type of overhangs is seperated with master building, raining could be two side falling down for fun. We hope the floating bridge will change the shadow on the plaza and road as time goes by.
