- Design Challenge
- The design team are aware that the property owner is a devotee of Buddhism, and draw inspiration from his most beloved Buddhist scripture. They are inspired by the classics, comprehend the wisdom words, and transform the scriptures as the design text of the project.

The atmosphere of the project is full of Buddha-nature without any Buddha statue.

The audio-visual room in the basement is separated from the study by a penetrating suspended bookshelf. The imposing high ceiling living room on the first floor equips large-scale French windows for people to appreciate the landscapes of the courtyard, the cubicle, and the side room.
- Research
- The design team pick out natural solid wood, red earth, mineral paint, and ironwork as the main construction materials. The quality of those materials does not look variegated and aged after being weathered through the years, other than sets off natural changing textures. We adopt the traditional truss structural scheme to set the main building and take advantage of the double layer roof included a covered ridge with sidewall openings to achieve indoor natural ventilation.
- Inspiration
- The design team believe that a good architectural design should start with the "definition" conceptually. The more poetic way is to "inject the soul" into this architecture. Therefore, they hoping to create a deep inner atmosphere for the whole space.
