Underneath the bright sunshine, the bamboo chairs, old trees, and red brick floor, marvelously awaken the forgotten good old days. Walk along the winding path, step into the rural cottage, where resound with children's frolicking laughter and neighbors' chats, as if falling back to the bygone times and space, the innocent and brilliant era that deeply cherished in the memory.





The accumulated historical charm over long years goes beyond superfluous decorations, thus, we merely exploit simple layout and functional features to bring about the glamorous manners of integrated new-old styles. People can enjoy savoring fine food, or stay for a couple of nights here, accompanied by the natural landscaping and humanistic situation, pleasantly back to the unsophisticated restful life.





We carefully preserve the intact patterns of the ceiling, walls, windows, and doors of the old cottage that was in a military dependents' village, additionally, set up a new-fashioned truss on the ceiling for installing light fixtures, ingeniously carry out the idea of giving a new life to an aged house, also brilliantly works in concert with the historical traces of the building. The solid wood Chinese furniture artfully makes the visitors of different ages discover their exclusive marks and evoke the emotional resonance, furthermore, they can also experience rich cultural implications of the overlapping time and space, freely ramble amid the inviting situations.





We plan to renovate the vintage cottage and transform it into a private kitchen and a homestay. First, re-configure two rooms to utilize as the guest rooms, second, makeover space beside the kitchen to serve as a dining area, moreover, equip a bar for serving light meals. Next, furnish the living room with a long table and a few chairs for daily chatting and gathering, once needed, where can also serve as a perfect dining space. In addition, we make use of red bricks to set up a courtyard deck as an outdoor dining area, so that the guests can happily enjoy fine food amid different settings.
