在保护的前提下，设计团队既没有采用“老旧修旧”的共同方式，也没有创造出流行的乡土床模式。

Under the premise of protection, the design team has neither used the common way of “repairing old as old”, nor created the trendy mode of vernacular bed & breakfast. On the contrary, the design team has selected and transformed a number of abandoned agricultural facilities and infrastructures, such as cowsheds, pigsties, barns, and bamboo squeeze, etc.) with implanting upgraded industries, complementing tourism service facilities and providing a new economical platform. Based on the principles of locality and contemporariness, the design team has also designed cultural and creative products, provided business guidance and promotions which could be described as an integral service from conceptual planning to spatial construction, and to tourism products and promotion.

画廊展馆：需要用橡皮石拆掉原来的展馆，用更透明的走廊建造一个新的展馆。它不仅保持了传统的风水遮挡景观和水的格局，而且为坐在走廊内欣赏周围风景和行人的人们提供了良好的景观。设计师希望通过尊重原始信仰来建立遗产，并使当地人能够接受新的展馆，即当地人民崇拜的雕像得到了很好的保存，并重新安置在新建筑的原址上。

The gallery pavilion: It needs to tear down the original pavilion with rubbery stone and to build a new one with more transparent corridor. It not only maintains traditional feng shui pattern of blocking sight and water, but also provides the good view for people who are sitting inside the corridor appreciating the surrounding scene and passers-by. The designers wish to establish an inheritance through the respect of the original faith and enable the locals to accept the new pavilion that the statues of worship for local people are well preserved and re-placed back to the original position of the new building.

烤烟房作为传统农业设施的遗物，对于城市居民了解传统烟草制作工艺具有重要的旅游价值。设计团队不想以简单的复制原有技术的方式进行改造，但引入了一种艺术干预：烤烟房已被塑造成一种对农业文明和照明设施的颂歌。阳光会从天窗里被强化成彩色的灯光。设计师希望它成为人们通过艺术装置重新思考人与自然关系的仪式场所。

The tobacco-curing house: As a relic of traditional agriculture facility, the tobacco-curing house has important tourism value for urban residents to learn about traditional tobacco-making craftsmanship. The design team did not want to make the transformation asa simple reproduction of the original techniques but an artistic intervention was introduced: The tobacco-curing house has been molded into an ode to farming civilization and  a lighting installation. The sunlight would be intensified into colored lights from the skylight window. Designers hope it becomes a ritual place for people to reconsider the relationship between man and nature by artistic installation.
