Realm of Clouds
Realm of Clouds is a residential building with 11 units in Taichung, Taiwan. The design joins architecture with planting, using multi-tiered vegetation, green facades and natural stone. The layout offers green views, daylight, fresh air and open interiors, while private pathways and independent entrances protect privacy. The facade greenery adds natural insulation and supports biodiversity. Rainwater harvesting, energy-efficient lighting and cross-ventilation reduce environmental impact. Locally sourced stone and recycled wood are also used.
