This paper presents the design and construction of facade renovation project ("Bamboo Cubic" project) Huangqiao Square in Shaowu City, Fujian Province, China. In this project, structural form cross-sectional dimensions were determined using a combination manual finite element analysis to meet relevant regulations. Once was confirmed, primary components such as foundation, column base, connection between frame elements designed comply with requirements. Innovative connections used install unique curved design, which required LBL members be prefabricated precision. The total height bamboo part is 16.86 m. clearly showed that engineered can both member well for aesthetic purpose. Use steel frames "Bamboo highlighted prospect future hybrid construction.
