Research: The waxberry central courtyard gathers people to sit and interact with one another. The free-flowing circulation indicates the freedom of modern lives.

Inspiration: Due to the main facility of the Autumn Village residential apartment which is to be built, is focusing on the reading area, the reception center for this development project has targeted to break through the stereotype of general reception center, using reading activity as the core idea of the whole space to create a unique form of space with innovative integrated marketing model of different industries.
