The project is located on the west side of the main axis in the core area of Qianjiang New Town, Hangzhou. The design concept draws inspiration from Hangzhou's cultural icon, the "Butterfly Lovers." It adopts a graceful and dynamic butterfly-shaped layout, positioning the buildings at the four corners of the site. Two-story podiums and connecting corridors link the four high-rises together. This layout resembles the wings of a butterfly, evoking elegance and harmony.
