RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project aims to build a hidden coast landscape, which evokes people's yearning for a quiet coast and a comfortable life, and creates a pleasant experience of vacation. The client hopes to set off nature and architecture through artistic landscapes, creating a harmonious and comfortable space experience, so as to attract people, stimulate regional vitality and enhance the site value.
CHALLENGE: The main challenge is how to best present the design idea under the limited budget. The designers need to balance the design sense and the realization possibility. Because of the modern style and the polyline form, it is more important to control the scale and modulus of materials. The multiple cutting of the material reduced waste and the imitation stone tiles formed a blue and white light color palette in harmony with the project theme.
