The architectural expression language not only has the shape, color and meaning of the east, but also has the spiritual characteristics of modern minimalism.
- Inspiration
- The classical gardens and Suzhou Museum constitute the ancient and modern correspondence between the oriental spirit and minimalism in this city. And also becoming the spiritual background of the sales center for designers. The spatial rhythm of Suzhou architecture and its unique garden experience are the responses of the design to the city. The logic clue of "Garden Tour" runs through, relying on the Oriental context, and giving consideration to both practical function and spiritual care.
