River One

River One is a residential complex located in Chongqing, China, between the Jialing River and Zhaomu Mountain Park.

A waterfall in the central courtyard and other landscape elements also address the level changes of the site. The facades are made of silver-gray aluminum plates, glass and wood-grained aluminum panels.
