Production Technology

In the logic of scene creation, traditional culture forms the core structure, while modern materials give the shape. The framework retains the traditional architectural style, using elements like upturned eaves and roof ridge beasts. The decorative materials of metal alloys lead to good strength and durability. The project adopts various materials to improve spatial openness and transparency, and manipulate light in terms of color temperature and brightness, thereby creating diverse atmospheres.
