The preface hall shows a deep impression of the register area, imitating the amazing rock wall image of the Antelope Canyon, greeting the guests. With water and time run through, the red sandstone has been polished and precipitated, forming smooth and rhythmic curves. The layers extend in the horizontal direction, carving out the texture of time.

The malleable foam-made rock mass has a sculptural feature. Such visual presentation emphasizes the integration of materials, handmade and emotion, points to the mutual attention and respect, as well as highlighting the authentic touch of nature, thereby inducing guests’awe of nature and perception of time. As the music plays, sand flows down from the crack in the rock mass, creating a wonderful dynamic-static scene with the undulating texture of the rock wall.

The banquet hall breaks the existing boundaries of the building, with a consistent use of winding and flowing lines, creating a strong dramatic visual tension when you are inside. By blurring the actual function and form of the original site, the designer adopted a de-catwalk dynamic layout that made the platform a part of the facade, simulating an integrated natural view. The unfolding flat perspective helps guests witness this solemn and sacred moment together.

The undulating, retreating, organic lines are captured by precise design activity, to freeze this solid, epic and magnificent spectacle. A beam of light shines down from high above harmonizes the ceiling, floor, and facade, outlining an infinitely extending flexible structure.

Two water features are set up on both sides of the stage. The delicate stream of water falls slowly from sky-dome, echoing and interacting with the flowing sand on the rock wall in the preface hall,with the symmetrical layout, interpreting the beautiful meaning of "Small water runs a long way". This aesthetic, poetic, and grand visual perception is not solely about the construction of form, context, or atmosphere, but also involves the creation of authentic experience and the tentative exploration of metaphors.
