According to the traditional column and tie construction codes, tenon and mortise joints are adopted for all joints, and nails are prohibited.

Inspiration: The inspiration comes from hanging houses in southwest China, which is an ancient wooden structure with a beautiful shape and exquisite structure, and strong regional characteristics.
