The 100-year-old house, previously a school history museum, is transformed into a place for dining, conference, cultural activities, and many other possibilities. With collaboration, the renovation led, conceptualized, integrated, and executed by Hung Nien Hsieh, Li Wen Hsieh, and Ming Ling Yang and supported by the youngsters from Chung Hua University was completed in 2020. While the long-abandoned century-old house breathed quietly by the lake, the team challenged themselves to breathe new life into the dying old house through interior design with functionality and aesthetics.

The designer is specialized in restoration design projects. She challenges herself to reshape and bring new life and meanings to old or abandoned spaces. Through design and planning, the designer strives to keep and revive the embedded tracks of memories in old space, instead of abolishing and destroying all the old and abandoned. She has discovered her passion as early as in college years. As a professor, professional architect, and interior designer, she has a big heart to lead and envision a better world for younger generations in her community. Through different projects, the designer worked with younger generations from the Department of Architecture, the Department of Landscape, and the Department of Food and Tourism to accomplish restoration and design. Through limited resources, they build from scratch and achieved something greater than the younger generation could have ever envisioned. To bring power to people is what motivates her in the everyday life and where her passion points at.

This restaurant project provided a chance for the younger generations in Chung Hwa University, enabling the designers to lead the students to put into practice their knowledge into this challenging project. The designers lead students from the Department of Architecture, the Department of Landscape, and the Department of Food and Tourism to work together on this unique project). While the restoration project of Lago Bistro creates a truly distinctive restaurant for its community by re-presenting a sense of nature and an elegant atmosphere, the designers integrate natural materials and maintains the original structure of the century-old house.
