Unique Properties
This project is located in West Lake scenic area. Because of the demand of government, protecting original architecture and building elevation is rigid requirement. In the process of designing, separated interior space and outdoor space as two system. Engineering on the basis of architectural main style of hundred years, and keeping modern resorts and commercial function in interior space.
Dimensions & Packaging
Based on the original architectural form, some interface between roofs and walls just two meter-high. It formed narrow narrow space but cannot be abandoned. So we programmed spaces like this to wash basin or storage space. Meanwhile, ceramic decorated the walls of toilet, so the height of toilet depends on the modularization multiple of ceramic bricks to reduced material waste and keep successfully.

Inspiration
This religion is the one of major birthplace of Chinese Buddhism. There are nearly ten Buddhist Temple three kilometers in radius, and Lingyin Temple built in AD 326. Many followers came to worshiping and learning Buddhism essence in nearly temple's meditation abodes, but it isn't enough far and away. So it's important satisfy the needs of living demand. Satisfying the balance of modern living requirement and inner peace.
Project Duration
The project started in March 2019 in Hanghzou and finished in October 2019 in Hanghzou.
