About Realm of Clouds Íbúðarhús
Ríki skýjanna er íbúðarhús með 11 íbúðum í Taichung, Taívan. Hönnunin sameinar arkitektúr og gróður með fjöllaga gróðursetningu, grænum framhliðum og náttúrulegum steini. Skipulagið býður upp á útsýni yfir gróður, dagsbirtu, ferskt loft og opið innra rými, á meðan einkastígar og sjálfstæðar innganga vernda næði. Gróðurinn á framhliðinni bætir við náttúrulegri einangrun og styður líffræðilega fjölbreytni. Regnvatnssöfnun, orkusparandi lýsing og þverloftun draga úr umhverfisáhrifum. Einnig er notast við staðbundinn stein og endurunnið timbur.
