Suquan Yuan is a redevelopment project which was planned to turn a huge parking space previously served for a tourism company into shopping and resort areas. Based on the impressions and memories on local traditional architecture, the entrance club, which is supposed to be a coffeeshop, was designed as a dark-brick box inserted with a wooden box, whose long windows could be opened and closed according to the interior using conditions.
