As a joint inspection building for sea route, the project proposes the concept of "baige zhengliu- fierce races for winning " of Dragon Boat (a traditional transportation tool), and creates a building with great movement and tension with triangular and inclined geometry language, which runs through the architectural form, facade, roof and interior forming a coherent indoor and outdoor visual effect.
Due to the limitation of site conditions, the project adopts the strategy of "vertical ports" to separate the entry-exit functions and flows by stacking the layout, tremendously improving the efficiency of customs clearance.
Functionally, large scale mezzanines were set in the non customs clearance hall area on the first and the second entry-exit floors to provide on-site office space to meet the simultaneous and efficient operation needs of the six security inspection departments.
The project also creates a large scale atrium on the third floor to provide passengers with the ultimate departure experience together with the sea views. At the same time, green designs such as outdoor balconies, sunlit skylights and double-layer facades run through the whole building, creats a green and warm transportation hub for the city.
