The design goal of this project was to create a modern, healthy and park-like community in Wuhan Optical Valley.

The university teachers, faculty and staffs, also other employees of Optical Valley who work and live neighboring the project site need a tranquil environment, an ecological park and a cultural habitat.

That "living between water and clouds" in Chinese describes a carefree wonderland in the natural environment.

Inspired by the concept of "living between water and clouds", a harmonious living realm between man and nature, designers created healthy, comfortable and sun-drenched courtyards. 

With deconstruction design techniques, various elements from the Nature were extracted and converted  into a local-featured cultural landscape environment for residents here.
