In the Shunan Bamboo Forrest in Sichuan of China, is there a unique geological landscape called Gem Lakes, which are small blue ponds formed by underground water containing copper sulfate. The site is right by a small Gem Lake in a bamboo forest. Our client is a local Tibetan couple who wanted a place for family to spend weekends. Also, the garden may open to public at certain festivals and host a variety of local cultural events. In this project, building disappears and nature reveals. Our primary strategy is to lead life into natural field by hand-making the building in its original way.
