The original site of the hospital is an area of bungalows, long fallen into disrepair. The decision to choose this site aims at the preservation of the surrounding Pinus thunbergii forest to the utmost. Facing the status of the popular use of Chinese elements as a style of architecture or decoration, as well as the strong and clear requirements of building in traditional Chinese style of the proprietor, the architect made an agreement with the proprietor on "imitating but not copying from the traditional style".
