Without too much decorative detail, the space is enriched by carefully selected natural textures. The overall colour tone and choice of materials of this project is coherent with the core spirit of the design concept which is balancing the nature and contemporary inner space. In order to pursue the higher natural ecology, an artificial hand chiseling method is used on the carefully selected stone surface to create a sense of texture on the surface.

The rare trees from all over the world are set against the water curtains to open up the new experience of the space.
