The project is a temporary “Green” Technology Showroom for one of CR Land’s residential projects in Beijing. The idea is to develop the concept of “temporary” from an more meaningful angle, to design something rather like a piece of installation floating in the garden. The vertical grass wall and roof not only assist to reduce the heat gain/loss, also visually harmonize the temporary structure with the existing garden with so called “classic Spanish” Style.
