This residential building project is thoughtfully situated against the backdrop of lush mountains and a pristine, clear stream, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. The design team has embraced a simple yet sophisticated exterior that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding natural landscape, exuding an unparalleled elegance and charm. Inside, the interiors are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, featuring clean lines that are artfully complemented by an array of carefully selected materials. This combination fosters a rich sense of layering and modernity, enhancing the aesthetic appeal. The result is a tranquil sanctuary that provides a delightful oasis for residents, balancing peaceful living with the vibrancy of nearby urban life. This project truly embodies the essence of a happy home, where comfort and beauty coexist harmoniously.
This project is set against a backdrop of exceptional geological conditions, which serve as the foundation for its robust structural design. Exceeding the current seismic standards, this design prioritizes the safety and resilience of the building in the face of potential seismic activity. Through meticulous calculations and innovative engineering, we have enhanced the horizontal acceleration coefficient to an impressive 0.276g. The concrete utilized throughout the structure boasts a remarkable strength of 4000 psi, further elevating the building's performance. With a seismic rating of 6, this construction ensures a secure and stable living environment, providing peace of mind in every conceivable seismic scenario.
The building's exterior is a striking embodiment of modern elegance, clad in a pristine white hue that radiates simplicity and purity. This deliberate choice not only lends the structure a light and ethereal quality but also harmonizes beautifully with the surrounding mountainous landscape and tranquil waters, cultivating a serene atmosphere of coexistence with nature.
