Can play, the winding passed leaded to quiet place, the convergence and release made the space multilevel experience. The project took example by Suzhou Garden, adhering to the principle of: change a pace change a scene and created world in a small space, for winding passed leaded to quiet place, the convergence and release made the space multilevel experience. An irregular coast line snow-white feature wall installed in entrance and decorated with simple plants, highlighted the unique and outstanding temperament. After the turn is Wind Bridge, seem like clever white streamer to connect two sides and to rise with lake’s landscapes. Architecture, scenery and site supplied each other. Different elements permeated each other.

On the bridge, gradually varied rhombus frame reflected glistening. Then stepped into gallery frame, combination of multiple angles, flowing of light and shadow, people enjoyed scenery in the garden. Seeking along the winding path stepping into Light Valley, Under the thin strip of sky, someone became silence, someone thought. Light flows slowly over time, served the dawn, sunglow, sunshine daylight as painter.

Description as Peach Blossom Spring, at the beginning of the entrance is very narrow, just big enough for one person to pass through, but walked a dozen steps forward, was suddenly enlightened. The description method of scenery is compliment after criticism, by contrast of space, passed narrow Light Valley, met extensive space of water, different space different definition, got people emotions on a high. A pavilion on land, a pavilion on terrace, a pond, a lotus, not only can be independent into the scene, but also perfect integrated into whole space. Looked at mountain and waterfall far and forth, enjoyed flower bloom and fade in front of door, taste the feeling of emanates leisurely clouds scud across the artistic conception.

Can enjoy, architecture, corridor frame, scenery echoed with indoor. Corridor, pillar and water built a space for relaxation and play. Transparent glass curtain wall uncleared boundary of inside and outside, indoor like water. Every little scene, not only can be independent into the scene, but also perfect integrated into whole space. When the water was rippled by the breeze, the reflections of Light Valley, corridor, platform, architecture on the lake were glittering and flickering. Trees were curvaceous, people were leisure and comfortable. Simple in formed, finely detailed, falseness and trueness combinative stones, metal and glass built a light luxury and good quality façade.
