- Etiquette takes the lead in the preface hall, which is the centerpiece of the banquet. It's clear that the host's tone is important in determining the importance of etiquette, especially if the festivities are simple and bright. The central floor slab of the building was removed during renovations in order to divide the original building scale,create an inner courtyard for plant growth, and introduce sunlight that increased the lighting of each room.
- Inspiration
- By designing a visual corridor, the design team introduces nature views into the site. In the meanwhile, ecological stones and waters as well as moss and fern are planted to presenting a natural landscape. Nature penetrates into buildings and landscapes, creating an art gallery in the nature.
- Research
- Small though it is, the project presents boundless landscape experience within limited space. As a result of respecting nature, the project has fully explored the values of local culture and ecology, making the artificial landscapes in perfect harmony with nature.
