西太湖國際商務廣場角落處獨特外型的酒店，在走近時令人有種看似動態的效果。建築物外表在不同角度觀看下呈現出不同的樣態，就像顆不對稱外形的「石頭水晶」，線條傾斜地向外發散至不同的方向。

酒店同時也是整體永續計劃中的一部份。戲劇般的外觀配合著陽光的角度及可變式遮陽板系統，創造出最佳遮陽效果，能有效大幅減少熱能降低空調設備使用量。

在變排量空調系統的使用下，並透過加高樓板的設計提供適當冷氣至辦公區，而樓板及佈線的設計亦可在未來依需要變更。酒店的綠色建築設計可達到中國綠色星級能源評價2顆星的標準（相當於澳洲五顆星標準）。

The dynamic shape provides a unique, sculptural form as one approaches the building. Located on a corner site, the faceted planes of the building shift their formal relationships when seen from different vantage points. The “rock crystal” is purposely asymmetrical in its formal massing, with faceted planes bevelled to differing orientations.

The dramatic form of the building is part of the project’s integrated sustainable design, generated to create a self-shading form which, in conjunction with the horizontal sun shading and variable facade panel system, significantly reduces the facades peak heat loading, allowing for a significant reduction in plant and services.

The green building approach is enhanced by the use of a displacement air conditioning system, providing supply air to all office spaces through a raised floor that also allows future flexibility for changes in layout and building cabling. This building is designed to achieve a 2 star Chinese green star energy rating (equivalent to Australian 5 star).
