Rebuilding from a farmhouse, this project located behind the Qigu sacred tree only occupies 1/4 of the land, and the remaining space is kept mostly green in order to conserve the environment. The design concept is to honor the green space and to borrow the scenery which is a strategy often used in Chinese garden. Following the concept, the house is shaped simply and neat with white color and big openings for different views. This white building becomes a stage which sets off those trees and shows the wavering shadows.
