About Sun Mori Residential Building
This project has the large white wall with elegant flowing lines and the curved three-dimensional glass balcony harmonize the flowing language of the winding wetlands in front. The staggered small openings of the white solid structure and the metal brick main wall in the center epitomize the sense of solidity, while the exterior facade is imbued with rich layers and features. Through the spacious balcony with a depth of 3 meters, the designer uses the large pure white curves of the main structural body to create the sensual effect of a figure with double-layered curves.

- Research
- Only three residential units are allocated on each standard floor, with each occupying an outward-facing corner of the building, so that the ventilation and lighting surface can flow more naturally. The curved balcony extends outward from both sides, adeptly deploying lines and surfaces to construct an overall balanced aesthetic, and the naturally ventilated staircase hall and public corridor, together with the safety staircase window, allow ample ventilation throughout.
