RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In order to get familiar with the history of Song Dynasty, the whole design team studied hundreds of documentaries and tons books to gather every bit of details about the life in Song. Its development of material and spiritual civilization reached an unprecedented height. Scholars were highly respected by the society, and the cultural of literati, Neo Confucianism, poetry, calligraphy and painting were all at the level beyond reach for other dynasties. Undoubtedly, the Song Dynasty is the period of Chinese Renaissance.

Such design renders the connection between the dining room and the two other areas into an interesting dialogue.
