The designer used a U-shaped corridor to enclose a T-shaped building. The corridor not only mitigates the inconvenience brought by the rainy climate but also generates a centripetal feeling. The screen wall is formed by steel structures wrapping with sheet stones, creating a sense of stability and elegance. For the roof, traditional Chinese gray tiles' texture and color were inherited, while innovative use of new materials. In the interior, the reception space and family space were separated vertically. Function-led systematic design ensures each space can aptly utilize natural advantages.
