Natural materials used herein correspond to the design spirit of contemporary buildings, demonstrating the attributes of modern design. Within a small space, a building with excellent lighting, views, and circulation is erected. The therapeutic elements of nature and inspirations from arts are presented, allowing residents to enjoy everyday life.
