The project is sited in Taihu New Town. It uses modern materials such as rolled steel sections, aluminum plate, stone and glass, and features a light metal double-hipped roof, offering a new visual impression. The architects hoped to use innovative techniques to embody the essence of classic gardens in a modern environment, making it a practitioner that returns culture to tradition, creates elegance from art and produces a poetic flavor from life. This project is built as an innovative example of a neo-Chinese style that mixes modernity and tradition.

By featuring only those who have demonstrated excellence under these stringent standards, DBI ensures a carefully curated pool of top talent, where clients can make confident, data-driven decisions about creative partnerships.
