Guanyun Mountain Villas focus on expressing the Oriental Zen, creating a real and quite ceremonial experience which give people a comfortable journey and improve the relationship with nature. The focus of the design is to express the Oriental Zen of a secluded mountain residence. This design creates a ritual experience for mountain dwellers returning home, providing sightseeing, wandering travel and living to enable the “mountain dwellers” - to embrace nature, and also showcase the hazy, holy beauty of the mountain, giving way to the landscape and making it return to the soul.
