About Realm of Clouds Puloy-anan nga Building
Ang Realm of Clouds usa ka puloy-anan nga building nga adunay 11 ka unit sa Taichung, Taiwan. Ang disenyo naghiusa sa arkitektura ug tanom, gamit ang multi-tiered nga bulahan, berdeng facade ug natural nga bato. Ang laraw naghatag og berdeng panan-aw, adlaw nga kahayag, presko nga hangin ug bukas nga sulod, samtang ang pribado nga agianan ug independente nga entrada nanalipod sa pribasiya. Ang berde sa facade nagdugang og natural nga insulasyon ug nagsuporta sa biodiversity. Ang pagkolekta og tubig-ulan, episyente sa enerhiya nga suga ug cross-ventilation nagpakunhod sa epekto sa palibot. Gigamit usab ang lokal nga gikuha nga bato ug gigamit-pag-usab nga kahoy.
