The main building is not a traditional tower, but a continuous loop of five horizontal and vertical sections, creating an irregular grid on the building's facade with an open center. Because of its radical shape, it has acquired the nickname dakucha, translated into English as "Big Underpants" or "Big Shorts". The construction of the building is considered to be a structural challenge.

主樓建築外形就像是一隻被扭曲的正方形油炸圈；兩座豎立的塔樓向內傾斜，傾角很大；塔樓之間被橫向的結構連接起來，總體形成一個閉合的環，有人稱之爲“大褲衩”。它被認爲是世界上設計最激進的建築。
