Cloud Mansion

Cloud Mansion is a landscape design for a commercial site of 5,080 square meters in Lishui. The design captures the intuitive qualities of clouds: lightness, cleanliness, floating and transparency.

Long gray marble benches offer places to rest.

Thanks to the large glazing of the house, greenery almost penetrates into its interior. A strong decorative accent is a bonfire with wooden benches and a metal hearth in the vicinity of a minimalist wooden playground. In summer, thanks to its simplicity, limited colors, the garden calms.
