| DESIGN NAME: Realm of Clouds PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential House INSPIRATION: Inspired by the harmony between humanity and nature, Realm of Clouds reimagines architecture as a living ecosystem. Its cascading greenery and multi-layered planting create a mountain-like landscape, enveloping residents in an organic sanctuary. The project integrates biophilic design with modern luxury, fostering tranquility, balance, and ecological awareness in an urban setting. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Realm of Clouds seamlessly blends architecture with nature, using multi-tiered vegetation, green façades, and natural stone elements to create a living, breathing environment. Designed for privacy and sensory immersion, its layout ensures unobstructed green views while maximizing light, air, and spatial fluidity. The limited collection of 11 residences offers an exclusive retreat, redefining sustainable luxury in the city. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: A seamless indoor-outdoor experience is achieved through open-plan interiors, panoramic glass walls, and nature-infused common spaces. Private pathways lead to lush gardens, ensuring green views without intrusion. Independent entrances enhance exclusivity, while natural air circulation and sensory-driven design elements - light, fragrance, and texture - create a holistic living experience. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: January 2027 Taichung, Taiwan |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The project employs sustainable materials, advanced passive cooling techniques, and ecological landscaping. The façade features self-sustaining greenery, providing natural insulation and biodiversity support. The structure incorporates rainwater harvesting, energy-efficient lighting, and optimized cross-ventilation to reduce environmental impact. Locally sourced stone and recycled wood enhance durability and eco-responsibility. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 2185 m2 Residential House: 11 Units TAGS: Grand Developments, Realm of Clouds, Urban Nature, Biophilic Design, Sustainability, Sensory Experience RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The design is rooted in biophilic principles, exploring how nature-integrated environments improve mental well-being, air quality, and spatial efficiency. Studies on multi-tiered forestry, microclimates, and material sustainability informed the selection of native plants and energy-efficient systems. Research also guided the project's privacy-focused urban planning, optimizing personal space within a green communal setting. CHALLENGE: The challenge was to balance nature’s organic fluidity with architectural precision. Constructing a multi-layered green façade required innovative structural solutions, ensuring longevity without compromising aesthetics. Integrating biophilic design, biodiversity, and sustainability while maintaining luxury, privacy, and functional efficiency pushed the boundaries of conventional residential architecture.
