Notes:
1. Design and planning must respect Tibetan traditions and religious taboos.
2. Remember the plateau climates, and the earthquake resistance requirements. The large temperature difference and short period of construction season are both vital.
3. Designers are expected to be experts of sustainability. The environment in the plateau is fragile and energy is precious.
4. Construction will be phase by phase, and zone by zone, and does not affect the parts that were already opened to the public.
The detailed master planning invitation is produced by the investor at the moment, and it will be shared with us soon.

This type of furniture (custom made furniture) would be very popular in China…

Custom made furniture is yet to become a trend in China. If you are an interior designer and would like to work in China, you may need to know the difference here: We cannot find them, we will have to buy from international market, or Hong Kong even though they are all made here.
