OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: By extending the concept of five rows gable of the five elements to the indoor facade wall, the space presents a sense of solemn and gorgeousness, and serving as a link connecting the whole space at the same time. The gable, made from plank, accomplished together by onsite carpenter and the factory according to the modeling requirement, is accurate and almost perfect on proportion and details.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Following the Teochew civil residence's concept of Xiashanhu and Sidianjin, the space is divided into antechamber, courtyard, and back hall, it also mixes old and new combining the existing scene. The division of each space emphasizes the alternative feeling of partly hidden and partly visible and avoids obturation and constraint of the traditional architectural form. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The project area is 450 square meters. The chandeliers and vintage steel pipe tungsten lamp create mottled shadows. The modern Chinese style chairs are re-optimized combining with design concept. The huge Chinese calligraphy at the roof of hallway creates a literary atmosphere.

The ethnic cohesion and insistence of protecting the tradition of Teochew people may bring a more expectant future for the issue of culture existence and new born in globalization. CHALLENGE: From the top down, the original complicated form is not retained in the design of cornice, gable, and partition, instead, simplified design method is adopted presenting by careful layout and array, thus, old mixes with new. Even image of moss and Boston ivy that coexist with the ancient walls of Teochew residence is shown here with the using of immortal grass, which is sealed in the glass bottles and distributed in array, in this way, a sense of simple and pure green is conveyed.
