Production Technology
The essences of design without overdecoration presents the true nature of the space. The building exteriors are decorated with the fair-faced concretes and the delicate grey slates. The stone pavers with grass in between improve the water-holding capacity of soils. The delicate pool landscape and the small tree, adjoining the stone pavers on the side, are not only scenic, also effectively adjust the environment temperature.
