The overall design comes from the "Travel Map of Mountains and Rivers", Mr.Fan Riqiao combines the characteristics of Yixing's local bamboo forests with many mountains and rivers. Through repeated abstraction, the five-storey building is transformed into a "mountain", with a "canyon" in the middle, a "bamboo forest" inside and a "pavilion" in water, creating a brand new and different aesthetic enjoyment. The designer also uses the method of switching the mountain and forest scenes to obtain the experience of continuous reversal in and out of the space.
