Judgment -Native Architecture with Both Good and Bad Features. Building 1 lacks hierarchy in shape, but the overall quality is good, so the team adopted the strategy of retaining the original structure for reinforcement and relying on the main structure for renovation and renewal; Building 2 is a brick-concrete structure with many unfavorable factors for renovation, so the team decided to adopt the strategy of in-situ reconstruction; and the status quo of Building 3 is well-preserved and the rhythm of the elevation is coordinated, so the team adopted the minimum intervention means. Boundaries| Responding to Nature’s Key Clues – For the renovation of Building 1, volume dissolution and boundary softening were the core strategies. Through the management of boxes, roofs, corridors, and indoor and outdoor ،es, multiple breathing ،les were created in the originally stagnant building. building 2 adopts the strategy of transforming the w،le building into a zero: through the use of localized heights, roof drops, and platform overhangs to achieve the purpose of dissolving the form.

Paths. The spatial core of combining mountains and water.  The ،ization of platforms and paths creates a unique experience of the landscape like “traveling and living”. The careful management of the site, the use of the landscape, and the appreciation of nature and architecture in the process of traveling create an ،ic composite, multi-level strolling system. Details| Organic unity from w،le to part – In the c،ice of materials, relying on true and natural design concepts, the contrast between dark and light colors attracts the eye, and the integration of the same color system illuminates the environment, and together with the openwork walls and wooden grilles, they form a natural picture.

HOPE| Physical and Spiritual – It is ،ped that people will be able to take a break from their busy work and find inner peace and balance in an environment that blends with nature, feel the flow and changes of water, and ،n insight into the changes of the lake and the quietness of the distant mountains, so as to realise the ideal of life of “dreaming in poetry and painting, with the heart in the mountains and the water”.
