The designers’ strategy is to remove the external wall, dig its internal spatial memory and value, and endow it with proper temperament, while preserving its structure and spatial pattern. Under the requisite of maintaining the architecture function, a large area glass curtain wall is used on the side facing the natural landscape, which makes the indoor space vision completely open.
