As a well-known tourist destination in the country. Wuyuan, with many ancient buildings and villages, has witnessed fast development in homestay business and booming popularity of many buildings changed from ancient residence, which had a huge impact in the industry. As a designer who has been in this field for many years, the author has participated in many ancient construction renovation projects. During this period, the author witnessed the re-birth, but also the demolishing of many houses. Many irreversible problems were seen during re-construction, including their structure, position, relationship to the neighborhood and their transpo rtation, which are hindering the realization of design ideas and completion of projects. Luckily, the designer and his partners happen to obtain a land of 12 mu by the riverside with convenient transportation. The big banyan tree beside features the land. After discussion with his partner, the designer decided to utilize recycled or even original material, leaving out their style or culture.

Constructed with only recycled materials, the round wooden hall follows a pavilion style to optimize utilization of the space. It serves as the guest hall of culture, where various inspiration and ideas sparkle. As its name suggests, clay wall made up most of the building. The villa grows from local red earth through recycled wood. Eighteen room in three floors face south and north, with while surroundings, wooden furniture, pure linen, beige curtains and carpets with vivid stripes. The cabin literally bows its head toward underground. The place, originally a mud pit, was altered into a sunken building by the height difference, whose roof becomes an orchard. By Xingjiang River, through a tiny bamboo arch, a slim wooden trestle stretches into the river. At its end, a veiling supported by eight round wood flutters in the breeze, whose reflection scattered into flakes with a sudden visit of a fish. As a master of the space, you add to a shade of color upon arrival. Art, village, life: you
