The project translates traditional folk houses through spatial and construction patterns, infusing historical memory into the architecture. The overall form of the sloping roof block is placed within the existing old walls, allowing the Villagers' Home to naturally "grow" out of the old walls. The new building and the old walls complement each other, creating a harmonious interplay of visibility and invisibility. Furthermore, on the site of the third mushroom breeding house, the previously existing third house has been recreated, reviving the labor scenes of the past on this piece of land.
