Project Vision
Perched on a misty mountainside outside Ningbo, this 1,000 ㎡ house redefines "seclusion" as a profound dialogue between architecture and landscape. M&L's ultra-slim systems blur the boundaries between interior and exterior, transforming every opening into a living art piece that breathes with its surroundings.

The Challenge

1. Panoramic Integration

• Site: Enveloped by rolling peaks and dense bamboo groves.
• Goal: Maximize breathtaking vistas without compromising structural integrity or comfort.

2. Climate Responsiveness

• Conditions: Summer humidity exceeding 85%; temperature swings from –5 °C to 45 °C.
• Requirement: Ensure exceptional thermal performance, moisture defense, and effective ventilation.

3. Spatial Flow

• Program: Open-plan living, dedicated tea pavilion, master suite, and rooftop observatory.
• Need: Seamless transitions between expansive communal areas and serene private zones.

The Solution

1. 146 Series Ultra Slim Sliding Doors

• Unparalleled Visual Freedom: With sightlines a mere 20.9 mm, these doors maximize the glass area, forging a seamless panoramic connection to the landscape.
• Whisper-Quiet Operation: German-engineered tracks ensure near-silent movement (≤ 38 dB), even with frequent use, enhancing tranquility.
• Superior Thermal Efficiency: Low-E insulated glazing dramatically reduces solar gain by 70% and maintains indoor temperature stability (ΔT within 3 °C).

2. 86 Series Tilt Turn Windows

• Adaptive Ventilation: The 20° tilt mode provides draft-free fresh air, while the full swing opening facilitates easy cleaning and maximum airflow.
• Robust Weather Defense: Multi-chamber seals and ingeniously hidden drainage systems effortlessly handle monsoon-level rainfall, ensuring a leak-proof seal.

3. 75 Series Tilt Turn Windows & 146 Series Offset Pivot Doors (Master Suite & Observatory)
