  • About Firm
    Founded in Boston, USA, GWP Architects has set up China regional headquarters and overseas project branches in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, China. The projects involved in research and practice have spread all over the world. GWP adheres to the concept of "Global Wisdom Partnership", brings together various talents, takes "balance between creativity and practicality" as the design purpose, and enhances the comprehensive value of projects from multi-dimensional thinking.

The project is based on Hokkaido's iconic snow mountain, inspired by the ribbon of clouds that move around the mountain. It not only carries customers' yearning for returning to nature, but also realizes the pursuit of art. From the alternation between the glass curtain wall and the building wall, the light texture of the building ribbon is highlighted. GWP designers extend different arcs through various lines to create a modern sense of concise and rhythmic strokes, and outline the most beautiful landscape of Hokkaido.
