This complex, located in a rice farming valley part of the traditional land of the Tujia minority, consist of a meeting hall, a teahouse, houses and some landscaping features such as a wooden landmark tower and bridge.
The basic premise of the project is that the design should be respectful with local sensibilities and traditions and should make extensive use of local and traditional materials. Consequently,  we make use of the local brick, roof tiles and wood, and adapt the project to the customs of the Tujia people without giving up on an outstanding modern design.
