Pine Shadow Stream rewrites the biological hard drive! Tongji Weir captures morning mist as its VRAM

At the ancient weir and painting village of Lishui, nestled by the Pine Shadow Stream and embraced by lake and mountain scenery, stands the designer B&B—Zhu·85. Located 150 meters upstream from the Tongji Weir dam on the west side of the ancient weir scenic area, this retreat offers views of the stream's emerald ripples, egrets skimming the mirror-like water, morning mist veiling the hills, and sunset hues painting the sky—every frame a living ink painting.

Zhu·85 embodies the design concept of "Living·Home." Its white, translucent exterior blends traditional Jiangnan "white walls and black tiles" with innovative local architecture. The designer stacked "wooden cubes" to create a facade of interwoven light and shadow, complemented by floor-to-ceiling windows that seamlessly bring the landscape indoors. The sunken bar features movable glass windows, framing picturesque scenes rain or shine, while the warm orange glow of the reading nook sets the mood for book clubs or intimate gatherings—perfect for both quiet and lively moments.
