This home improvement project emerged from the 2020-2022 pandemic and is an extremely rare solo endeavor, entirely completed by Wister Wu, from design to construction. Inspired by his personal experiences during the pandemic, Wister identified the universally human concept of a family haven as the central creative idea for this project.

This project transcends being merely a creative home improvement initiative, serving as a proactive response to the social dynamics of the 21st-century pandemic through creative design. It tells a larger social story through a small courtyard. At the same time, the project explores significant innovations and enhancements in the most basic living unit, making it a large practical piece of environmental art. The widespread innovation and improvement of individual home environments are the fundamental basis for triggering an overall enhancement of human settlements.

The core of the design is to break free from traditional thinking and methods, no longer confined to conventional household settings. It materializes shared human life concepts and imprints them with the mark of the pandemic era. With a blend of Eastern and Western cultures, a fusion of time and space, and the innovative methods of the interconnected and interactive network era, it creates an unprecedented, vibrant, and delightful new living environment and lifestyle, showcasing the great innovative potential that existing human settlements can be much more colorful and diverse.

It is hoped that this project can provide new inspirations and examples for the development of living environments, offering some humanistic solace, a spiritual boost, and lasting memories from the pandemic.
