Every Patio Tells the Story of Canton
Tropical and subtropical climates distinguish this region: abundant rainfall and sunshine, with no winter or snow, enable the residents to develop the “Canton Style” of architecture and residence. With tall walls and site plans adjusted to wind direction, the patios in the Canton region can always cast shadows and protect residents from the summer heat.
Traditionally, the patio was a comfortable place for residents to spend their spare time. Today, it plays an essential role in modern buildings. As far as functions are concerned, a patio can provide catchment, aeration, lighting, firefighting and beautification, which is the best means of accommodating nature and putting sustainable development of structures in practice.
