The Design

About Realm of Clouds Adeilad Preswyl

Mae Teyrnas y Cymylau yn adeilad preswyl gyda 11 uned yn Taichung, Taiwan. Mae'r dyluniad yn cyfuno pensaernïaeth â phlanhigfeydd, gan ddefnyddio llystyfiant aml-haenog, ffasadau gwyrdd a charreg naturiol. Mae'r cynllun yn cynnig golygfeydd gwyrdd, golau dydd, awyr iach ac ystafelloedd mewnol agored, tra bod llwybrau preifat a mynedfeydd annibynnol yn diogelu preifatrwydd. Mae'r gwyrddni ar y ffasâd yn ychwanegu inswleiddiad naturiol ac yn cefnogi bioamrywiaeth. Mae casglu dŵr glaw, goleuadau ynni-effeithlon ac awyriad croes yn lleihau'r effaith amgylcheddol. Defnyddir hefyd garreg o ffynonellau lleol a phren wedi'i ailgylchu.

Production 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.
Design 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.
Research: 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.
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.
Project Duration: January 2027
Taichung, Taiwan
Operation Flow: 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.
