A few boats look like drifting leisurely on the waterway of Jiangnan, and staggered-floor is added to both shores, these makes the waterway looks like natural water surface.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In this project the designer looks at how to break through stereotypes of design under background of secular fashion deluge.
CHALLENGE: One of the challenges in the project is the defective furred ceiling. The ceiling part lacks integration because of the bulky air conditioner pipe and the complex pipelines. The boat in the air is boldly adopted to wrap the pipes, so as to become a beautiful scenery in the air, echoing to the boat on the ground. The most difficult part in the construction process is to solve the privacy problem when dining on the boat. Flexible ropes are used as partition. When there are many diners, the whole boat is open to all; and when there are fewer diners, the boat can be divided into three separate tables by the ropes.
