2008年，也就是八月的夏天，我们第一次参观这个地方，我记得那是雨后阳光明媚的日子。所有的阳光都来自绿色的树枝，在那一刻，我们不知道这将是一个近4年的奋斗项目。

 On 2008, the summer August, the first time we visited the site, I remember that was sunny just after rain. All the sunshine came through the green branches, at that moment, we don't know this is going to be an almost 4 years struggling project.

在中国传统园林中，有许多圆形的门，我们称之为“岳门”。同样的，他们可以通过，其中一些不能。他们中的一些人从那里获取视图，其中一些是要查看的图像。今天，当城市空间已经发生了如此大的变化，以至于这类门不再合适时，我们仍然只撤回了这个符号的形式。这是我们第一次尝试去理解和期待。

In Chinese traditional garden, there are lots of gates in the shape of circle, which we named “Yue Men”. Same of them could be passed through, some of them couldn’t. Some of them where people take views from and of them are the images to view. Today, when the city space already changed so much that these kind of gates are no longer suitable, then we still withdraw only the form of this symbol. It is our first try for understand, and expecting.

另外，我们使用的薄片砖(55毫米*235毫米*12毫米)，这是最相似的材料与传统的中国砖，过去是厚55毫米*235毫米*120毫米。现在，当地人用这些瓷砖作为装饰，但仍然按照以前的布局。瓷砖本身反映了圆圈的形态，为园地/乡村形象而进行。然后，我们尝试了一个完全不同的布局。由于四块瓷砖一起放置在一起的间隔为5毫米，将是一个正方形的235毫米*235毫米。这是我们布局的基本模块。在此模块中，我们只说明了瓷砖的装饰功能。我们还试图在这个简单的构造细节中实现一个特殊的随机。

Additional, we used the slice tiles (55mm*235mm*12mm) which is the most similar material as the traditional Chinese brick, used to be as thick as 55mm*235mm*120mm. Nowadays, the local people use this tiles as decoration but still with the layout like it used to be. The tile itself reflects the form of circle, going on for the Garden/Countryside image. Then, we tried a totally different layout. As four pieces of tiles lying together with a separation of 5mm, would be a square in 235mm*235mm. That is our basic module for the layout. With this module, we indicated the tiles’ function for decoration only. We also tried to achieve a special random in this simple construction detail.

“山水画”的形象是这一设计的另一个关键要素。与中国传统民居不同的是，我们扭转了屋顶：“山脊”总是低于“边缘”来赢得现代性。同时，丰富了屋面的体积和布置，产生了不同的照明效果。

The image of “Shan-Shui” is another key element of this design. Different from the traditional Chinese house, we reversed the section of the roof: the “Ridge” is always lower than the “Edge” to win the modernity. Meanwhile, it enriched the volume and arrangement of the roof, which creates different lighting effects.

在后来的室内设计中，我们只是把所有的细节尽可能的简单，只是为了探索材料本身，为一个清晰的环境，一个生活的空间。

Later in the interior design, we just kept all the details as simple as possible, just to explore the materials themselves, for a clear environment, a living space.
