Woven rattan, woven board, solid wood strips, curved wood boards and terrazzo surfaces are combined, and wood is used as the connecting medium. The plaster finish is made from recycled reservoir silt and is waterproof and breathable. Arc-shaped ceiling sections and rounded wall corners conceal uneven beams and make the low space appear taller and brighter.
