- The building's exterior is primarily pure white, resembling a giant cave, with a translucent glass roof that lets in natural light.
- The interior structure mimics the curves of karst caves, combined with a modern minimalist style, creating a futuristic feel.
- Elements of the Silk Road, such as Kucha murals and Western Region-style decorative details, showcase the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures.

- Home Furnishing Display Area: Showcases Markor Home's high-end home furnishing products, arranged in artistic settings.
- Art Exhibitions: Regularly hosts art and design exhibitions, such as mural reproduction exhibitions.

- The venue focuses on experience, with commercial sales areas being relatively understated, making it suitable for peaceful exploration.
- The surrounding commercial area is vibrant (e.g., Parkview Green FangCaoDi, The Place), allowing for a combined day trip.
