杭州西溪悦庄外立面
上海
An exterior precedent for low-rise slate-clad architecture integrated with canals and lush courtyards, ideal for resort or residential campus design.
- What we like about this project
- The buildings appear to rise directly out of the reflective canal water without intermediate hardscape.
