In the heart of inland China, far from the coast, people have long carried a longing for the sea. The project creates a "forest isle" retreat in this vast land, giving shape to an unrealized ocean dream in the Central Plains.

Between city and water, a delicate landscape unfolds—buildings as boats, pine forests as sails, and the lake as an endless journey.
