In midsummer with clouds, when strolling on the island, the wind blows from the coast, full of the sound of waves and birds. Above the clouds is the beginning of another world, where there may be the end of the rainbow and the destination of the stars. In this journey, the sky and ocean are only the background, and we will finally arrive in the fascinating land of clouds.

This case is located in Nan'ao Island, Shantou, which is the only island county in Guangdong Province. It consists of 37 large and small islands. It goes directly to the project address along the coastline, with mountains and sand, waves and reefs. Stopping on the Tropic of Cancer, you can find large clouds chased by the wind, rushing to gather with the sea.

The designer takes "the sky joins hands with the ocean, and the beautiful boat sails to the clouds" as the design concept. Through the integration of nature and environment, the transmission of culture and emotion, and the balance of comfort and convenience, < Cloud Bound > creates an accommodation experience with both natural beauty and humanistic care for guests, making them finally reach that fascinating cloud place. Here everyone can find their own sky and ocean, and join hands in a journey about dreams and freedom.

Surrounded by the sea, The morning dew and mountain life

The ideal place belongs to the mountains and seas. The ritual corridor is the origin of the existence of the homestay. The corridor is based on granit, and the hand-made serrated surface of the logs creates a simple vision. Light falls on the serrated surface through the window, forming a patchy light and shadow effect, completing the silent and open layout. The chandelier design with mirror pun diffuses the mountains and forests, and the spherical wall lamp is like the shadow of candlelight, showing the pause of space.

The sea melt into the sky, lying in the clouds

阳光与海随行，云端之上的居卧，是心灵自由与宁静的向往。设计是直觉的发生，从海天一色的景色，到酒店民宿的细节需求，再将设计蕴藏到住宿体验之中。我猜，当雷蒙德卡佛写下”一天中最愉悦的时刻”，就是这种轻盈、静谧的一瞬吧！

Traveling with the sunshine and the sea, lying on the clouds is the yearning for spiritual freedom and tranquility. Design is the occurrence of intuition, from the scenery of the sea and the sky to the detailed needs of the homestay, and then the design is embodied in the accommodation experience. I guess when Raymond Carver wrote "the happiest moment of the day", he was describing this light and quiet moment!

The colors that connect the mountains and sea

The branches and vines grow, with dark summer color. Connect the colors of wild mountains and the ocean, and take the color of palm to balance vision. The finish of this project adopts a specially customized palm color, a color inspired by the nature. Its texture is like the stretch of mountains and the surge of the sea, giving the space a gentle yet powerful coat. There are perception, memory, technique, attitude, expression of materials and soft furnishings. Design is the expression of life and yearning. It settles between the soft mountains and seas, with space and nature breathing in ears.

Hot summer and soft color 

In Cernuda's Summer Day, there are generous heat waves in summer mornings, golden shadows and tipsy air have frolicked on the ground, as if the walking was about to turn into flight. Summer sea breeze, hot and free. The unique living in the island reveals pure relationship. Texture and display set the spatial tonality, and the hot sea breeze in summer blows people's yearning freely. The orange-yellow style highlights the free and unrestrained lifestyle. People on the island always chase the clouds, yearn for the sun and dance with it.

Above clouds and island life

Island life, carefree. The close ties of the island residents in the past settlements share their lives simply. Fish by the sea and enjoy nature. The detailed planning of space is often based on natural transition. The limitation of space will nit limit the design, but the rhythm of pace is the foundation of design. Granite-based materials are laid out, highlighting the simplicity of the space. The paving of stone extends to the facade, allowing the sense of space to be extended.

Embrace of the Evening Breeze

At the blues moment, every intimate contact between the waves and the reef is like the most melodious movement of nature, neither urgent nor slow. The moonlight is gently scattered on the sea, sparkling, and you can vaguely see the unique scenery of windmills on the sea, which complement each other. Falling asleep in the sea, you will have the senses coming first and the thoughts coming behind at this point, soothing the irritability of life and making you enjoy the white noise granted by nature.

In the art gallery, I met the sea under Hiroshi Sugimoto's lens, and saw the sea in different times and states. It became the whisperer of time and the carrier of endless cosmic emotions. At the moment you entering < Cloud Bound>, the senses and experiences are all visualized. Whether wandering like clouds, watching like mountains, or tolerating like the sea, we can all find our true selves on the stage of life by choosing a lifestyle that carries the three symbols of clouds, mountains and sea.
