The design details embodied the personal traits of the owner. Designers used scenery borrowing technique, integrating the beautiful outdoor view with the interior space.
- Design Challenge
- One of the challenges is how to let users enjoy the beautiful outdoor scenery and screen out the messy parts surround the building, because the landscape of the outdoor garden is the best partition in the original structure, but the surrounding environment of the building is comparatively messy, which is adjacent to the road and neighborhoods.
Another challenge is that the owner requires the designers to set up more than eleven bedrooms with good lighting, excellent ventilation and best view. - Project Duration
