AN ANCESTRAL DELIGHT
The renovation restores original natural fabrics, and highlights the ancient village’s charm with minimal disruption to the existing local architecture. The design relies heavily on the surrounding natural landscape as shimmering sunlight and shadow penetrate through ginkgo leaves, creating a powerful pattern as they fall on the hollowed-out glass skylight, flooding the walls and ground. The renovations are carried out without using large machines to avoid any possibility of damaging the village’s architecture, and the villa creates jobs and strengthens the village economy.
