Green in the house
Project Overview
Raised up in the city, most of us are used to the cold white wall, asphalt, and cement and that makes our lives less vigorous. We get stuck at our work and run into a quarrel with the people we love because of too much stress.
That is also exactly what makes green in the city so rare and precious. We miss them a lot, trees, nature, fresh air, and the amazing vibe altogether. Instead of going out into the forest, we want to develop an alternative way, which is also more convenient.
