The design concept stems from the inclusivity for diversity of the Chinese garden, which includes the functions of the tourist service center, public toilets, two tea rooms and four groups of small landscapes. The openness and privacy of each function are different. In terms of fenestration, each space allows designed entry of natural light and change of light and shadow, considerations of landscape and human scale smoothens the transitions between spaces. The service center uses wood as main structure, and local bamboo tiles and wood tiles as the cladding. We attempt to achieve a creative architectural design which fits in the rural context through local materials
