The project is located in an area surrounded by a park, golf course and mountains. The inspiration of the building comes from the dialogue with the environment. Every factor in the environment, such as distant mountain, flower sea, lake, grass slope, wind, fog, their dialogue with the building will form a unique place experience. When a "cloud" falls on the grass slope, the building not only takes the nature as the background, but also as a part of the nature, with the unique lightness and haziness of the cloud to blur the boundary between the artificial building and the natural environment.
The project is an exploration of the relationship between building and natural environment. It is the common goal of the owners and architects to build according to the natural terrain and integrate with the natural
background, so that the building can finally show the state of viewing mountains, embracing lakes and flowers, and provide a place where community activities can take place in a natural environment. In the design of Cloud Art Museum, we use the terrain change of the site itself, eliminate the height difference through three ramps, and infiltrate and blend the quiet "cloud", rolling mountains and whirling tree shadows through glass.
The natural environment and architectural elements together shape the boundary of space. The spaces infiltrate and overlap each other, forming a kind of ambiguous and hazy space, shaping a rich and flexible space level, in which building and environment integrate with each other.
