RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The designer deeply excavated the contemporary people's taste of the times and the needs of life. In this case, the modern low-luxury, natural and humanistic personality design was mixed, and the design of the luxury and the shackles was adhered to, and the leisurely life style of Chengdu was adhered to. In the same vein, it conveys the beauty of the garden and the beauty of the dark fragrance.
CHALLENGE: The main challenges of this project are the very tight construction deadline, comparatively low budget, and the difficulties of installing the soft and hard-textural materials at the same time during construction. Other challenges for design are to create artistic spaces which can respond to local cultural identity and meanwhile maintain an active dialogue between the memory of eastern tradition and the creative interpretation of modernity across cultural differences.
