With water as the nature, let the beauty of the courtyard, like Oriental poetry, is not in the accumulation of rhetoric, but delicate and simple scene blend, let the beauty of the landscape, more free and unrestrained.

The ethereal realm is a special realm in Oriental aesthetics.
In Chinese classical art, the expression of artistic conception is emphasized, and the subtle dialectical relationship between object and mood is also paid special attention to.

This design is more important from different points on how to build the carrier of Oriental spirit in contemporary design, and explore the design philosophy based on national culture.
