The Yongwei Times Center is a mixed­use office and retail development in Xi'an, China. Two lobbies, joined by a common design theme drawn from the tower's LINEAR PATTERN of exterior fins, provide access to the corresponding program areas, but each remains accessible from the other by corridors on the north and west sides.

The office lobby contains three banks of express elevators and two parking shuttles Entry to the lobby through a niche at the corner of the building allows reception personnel to control access to the buildng while creating a welcoming atmosphere

The lobby features two distinct wall treatments: where the main linear pattern is projected into the building, it is represented by a combination of BACKLIT GLASS FINS on walls, LINEAR LIGHTING FIXTURES on ceilings and DARK STONE LINES on the floor. All remaining surfaces have a stone arranged in a scale pattern reminiscent of the tower's facade
