Seek a mountain villa with an exquisite courtyard, to see flowers, plant trees, and bask in the sun; climb mountains, seek birds, and wait for the moon. A new mountain-dwelling life lets happy days grow into poetry. Chongqing is known as the Mountain City and Fog Capital, and the MCC Tongluotai project is located within the Tiepingshan ecological area of Chongqing, rich in resources where humanistic landscapes, mountains, waters, forests, springs, and gorges complement each other. The landscape design draws inspiration from this, extracting the design concept of a garden above the clouds. With refined conception—mountains beyond the clouds, forest whispers in the hills, sounds fading among the trees—the design lets life return to its essence, lets living merge with nature, and creates a comfortable, artistic living atmosphere. The villa area: the great hermit hides in the wild. Borne by a gentle breeze, scented with flowers, winding along the mountain road upward, the villas come into view nestled among greenery. The architectural design adopts a North American style, with beige stone and wood as the overall palette, paired locally with wooden grilles and dark paint, creating an organic rhythm on the facades. The rugged, natural building forms, combined with wild, playful planting design, express leisure and ease, embodying the understanding of bare-faced beauty, nostalgic sentiment, and humble dwelling, and creating the atmosphere of the lesser hermit hiding in the wild. Against the greenery, rooms inside the windows and nature outside reflect each other. Sitting idly on the terrace, gazing at the sky, escaping the confines of the city, one connects with all of nature through a sensitive heart. Within the courtyard, natural and colorful planting techniques are used, paired with colored-foliage or flowering trees.
