Production Technology

The natural sceneries mutually blend with artificial landscapes. Two platforms and corresponding building were designed for the yard according to the height difference, where the higher place utilized local constructional approach and plastering characteristic to demonstrate regional uniqueness, while the lower place used sand and stones to pave the road surface, surrounding the landscapes with circles, offering the entire space with well-proportioned appearance.

Therefore, for the living space, an environment connecting to nature has been created, where large French window guides natural sceneries indoor, with the application of natural elements filled with vitality.
