The complex is a mixed-use commercial-office building on 36,600 square meters of land. The site locates in a TOYOTA test drive area that aims to connect people, nature, and cars by designing the landscape to architecture and interior space. This project can divide into three parts as "The Community," "The Convention," and "The Office," with the concept of driving tracks that applied to the layout and landscape of buildings.

Considering the existing site, as a TOYOTA test drive area, the concept of driving tracks selected to apply to the buildings' layout and landscape, which can notice from the curved edges, as the turning point in a race track in every corner of the buildings. Likewise, the greenery landscape will place in every negative space from an overlapping plan.

The office is the main building of the complex with almost 9,900 sq. m. with four floors. The first two floors use for indoor parking lots with a curved corner rectangular-shaped floor plan with the perforated aluminum facade, which allows light and air ventilation to the space. At the same time, the third and fourth floor has an overlapping racetrack-shaped plan with a continuous glass facade.
