A liquid cement curtain was used in the foundation to keep water away from the foundation. Steel-supported foundation piles supported the foundation by utilizing surface friction.. 250 piles are 35 times the length of the 10 km building. The hotel is located near the major fault line. Exterior steel frame used, multiple diagonal steel frame pieces are attached to two steel supports at the back of the structure. The beams were transported by giant 80-wheel transporters. Since the daily temperature changes in the region are too much, the beams lengthen and shorten by 5 cm during the day..

The wind tunnel showed large wind effects and the solution was adjusted mass damping suspension weight. A restaurant made in the form of a wing-like protrusion, giving the hotel the feeling of above the clouds. The only way to finish the hotel on time was to start decorating the interior before the exterior design was finished.. The interior of the building was cooled before starting the interior design so that the materials used in the interior design are not damaged.. The world’s largest fabric wall was used on the outer wall of this structure.. Since the electrical system is very complex and advanced, the hormonal filter was used for the first time in this building.. The building has a helipad and a giant aquarium inside..
