- Unique Properties
- This project is located in West Lake scenic area. Because of the demand of government, protecting original architecture and building elevation is rigid requirement. In the process of designing, separated interior space and outdoor space as two system. Engineering on the basis of architectural main style of hundred years, and keeping modern resorts and commercial function in interior space.
- Inspiration
- This religion is the one of major birthplace of Chinese Buddhism. There are nearly ten Buddhist Temple three kilometers in radius, and Lingyin Temple built in AD 326. Many followers came to worshiping and learning Buddhism essence in nearly temple's meditation abodes, but it isn't enough far and away. So it's important satisfy the needs of living demand.

- Challenge
- The most difficult things in this project is to demand of environment protecting. Greening rate and without original flooring material damaged in courtyard. The material were hundreds year flagstone, it couldn't covered by modern materials like concrete or amplify green area by digging out stones.
- Realization and Technology
- Wooden components of building elevation have been decayed already because of time, designers choose the baking technique since Song dynasty to made wooden surface carbonized, and keep it integrity.
- Operation and Interaction
- In the early design stage, we looked for builders and construction team on account of traditional skills, because there are few builder nowadays. So sufficient preparation will guaranteed the project smooth progress and made a excellent contribution to traditional craft preservation and continue.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in March 2019 in Hanghzou and finished in October 2019 in Hanghzou.
- Specifications
- Based on the original architectural form, some interface between roofs and walls just two meter-high. It formed narrow narrow space but cannot be abandoned. So we programmed spaces like this to wash basin or storage space. Meanwhile, ceramic decorated the walls of toilet, so the height of toilet depends on the modularization multiple of ceramic bricks to reduced material waste and keep successfully.
