At the base of Mt. Emei, in China’s Sichuan,the project borders the main city of Chengdu to the north, and the sprawling resort region of Lake Exiu to the south and east. Enveloped by the best of both worlds, the designer set out to infuse existential significance into the unique space by creating a delicate balance of urban and forest experiences. The result is a serene residential setting that embodies its natural surroundings of mountain and stone, water and clouds, body and mind. The designer wishes it can inspire people deeper thinking about connections with nature.
