Li Family's Yizhuang cluster, situated on Suzhou's UNESCO World Heritage Shantang Street, has been transformed after abandoned for years. The project restored a group of heritage buildings and reestablished its historical "street-alley-courtyard" structures.15 old residences were converted into unique hotel rooms, with the main hall becoming a public space. The design preserves the aged street facade while incorporating modern elements, creating a dialogue between old and new. This renovation project rebuilds people's confidence in the community through implanting new commercial activities.
