Dowell DoThink

The designers considered not only the facade and house type, but also the spatial layout and living atmosphere. To ensure an overall unified facade effect, materials like stone, natural stone coating, high-grade paint are selected for the high-rise residential buildings to decorate their simplistic and modest facade. Different from the Chinese-style solemn and tediousness, the design injects more vitality into the space to interpret a positive living attitude.
