Entry Description

The design draws on Chun'an's traditional idea of blending with nature, exploring the "Whisky-Island Encounter" theme through natural and cultural lenses.Inspired by shimmering islands,the form echoes surrounding mountains.The upward-sweeping roofline evokes local "flying eaves" while enhancing natural lighting and ventilation.
