The Design
About Realm of Clouds Elamu
Pilvede Riik on 11 korteriga elamu Taichungis, Taiwanis. Disain ühendab arhitektuuri haljastusega, kasutades mitmetasandilist taimestikku, rohefassaade ja looduskivi. Planeering pakub rohelusevaateid, päevavalgust, värsket õhku ja avaraid siseruume, samal ajal kui eraldi käiguteed ja iseseisvad sissepääsud kaitsevad privaatsust. Fassaadihaljastus lisab loomulikku soojusisolatsiooni ja toetab bioloogilist mitmekesisust. Vihmavee kogumine, energiatõhus valgustus ja ristventilatsioon vähendavad keskkonnamõju. Kasutatud on ka kohalikku kivi ja taaskasutatud puitu.
