design should focus on
the relationship between
inside and outside
ecosystem and health
issues. It is important to

sunlight into electricity
Flexibility:
- The apartment should be
designed to adapt to the
local environment and
climate, which can
function normally in all

- It is significant to
consider trees as a part
of eco-friendly interior
design, because green
plants can be used to
form a cooling system
and purify air by
absorbing and reflecting
sunlight. Particularly in
high buildings, trees are
big enough to help them
prevent wind, also to
maintain warm inside the
apartment.
