Fourthly, furnishings: Chinese-style design furniture, calligraphy and paintings with Chinese style and porcelains are used to create a distinctive Chinese cultural atmosphere.

Secondly, skylight, sunroom, terrace and so on are added into the bedroom to enhance the interaction between human and nature.
Thirdly, the Chinese Ming Dynasty furniture was used as a template to create a more comfortable new Chinese furniture. - Design Challenge
