A playful design, whether the parents or the children, both can be immersed in this natural open space, and the pressure from the beam has also been subtly transformed to be an advantage of the design.
Research: This project is located in a thriving Yangfushan Park area, education purpose-oriented and supported by brand management and curriculum sales.
