Synopsis
Lake W depicts one of the most luxurious and original property developments in the world today, currently being built in the Wu Kai Sha area of greater Hong Kong. Designed by the leading architectural consultants ORO Studio and the Boston architectural firm Office dA, it is rendered here through super-realistic 3-D imaging, Methanoia animations and original drawings. The project itself is a sleek and Modern monumental luxury living facility that addresses notions of comfort, style and leisure for the twenty-first century. Situated in a rural area with majestic views of mountains and lakes, it offers the concept of the house as a place of repose, or sanctuary, while providing all of the important urban amenities of our era. It contains sophisticated transportation and arrival facilities at the building's base, while "clubhouse" living facilities and social spaces float undisturbed above. This book guides readers through eight distinct "jewels"--or sections--created through a combination of floating glass pavilions and water courtyards carved from the larger volume.
