Amidst a lush forest filled with diverse trees, multiple luminous glass spaces utilize abstract forms of stone (square), wood (triangular), and bamboo (linear) elements. These are applied in the lobby, dining area, and library, with low windows designed to bring in refreshing air. Natural light and breeze intertwine within the space, creating a house in the forest.

Nestled within the bustling city, the communal spaces of this residential tower are designed
with a core philosophy of "green thinking and sustainability.
" Natural elements are seamlessly woven into the design, creating a rare urban forest retreat.
The design team interprets nature through abstract geometric forms—stone (square), wood (triangle),
and bamboo (linear)—transforming them into spatial expressions throughout the lobby, dining area, and library.
These spaces are not just places of daily living but serene havens embraced by greenery.
The design emphasizes the interplay of light, shadow, and wind.
Expansive glass surfaces enhance visual transparency while subtly introducing layers of shifting light—by day,
they capture natural sunlight and shadows; by night, they emit a soft glow, resembling flickering stars in a forest.
The use of low windows allows the refreshing outdoor breeze to weave through the interiors,
merging natural light and air to evoke the charm of a woodland retreat.
Material selection further reinforces the connection to nature.
The lobby’s monolithic stone reception desk and textured walls evoke the solidity of natural landscapes.
The dining space, crafted from warm wood tones, fosters an inviting and communal atmosphere.
In the library, delicate linear patterns unfold gracefully, reminiscent of a quiet stroll through a bamboo grove.
Sustainability is at the heart of the overall planning. A variety of shrubs are planted in the garden to provide natural cooling,
while reflective pools and low windows facilitate airflow, reducing dependence on air conditioning and minimizing energy consumption. More than just an enhancement of the living environment,
this design embodies a "green mindset," paving the way for a sustainable future and an ideal home for generations to come.
