In the Chaoshan region, "Cuò" refers to residential dwellings, a term that not only denotes the physical space of a house but also extends to social connections like "厝边" (Cuò-biān, neighborhood). Xikoucuò is located on the outskirts of Teochow, on a uniformly planned new rural construction site. The plot is not far from the old village, adjacent to a branching stream. The residential plot faces the stream to the south and backs onto a planned rural road to the north. There is a height difference of about 4 meters on the stream side.

Provide shelters for the villagers every day and night

The design concept for Living Room of Dawu Village draws from shades of banyan trees.
The original site was a quadrangle courtyard with a two-story teaching building, a one-story building with auxiliary rooms for teachers on one side. The entire school building is placed under a tall banyan tree of 300 hundred year old. "After witnessing this banyan tree, we had an inspiration that people in the village liked to gather under the tree for various activities such as chatting, eating, drinking tea, and enjoying natural breeze. This tree has become the soul of social interaction for the village. Therefore, the core ideal of renovation is to open up the entire courtyard, simulating a huge shade of trees ", said by Gu Yi, when he recalled his direct inspiration of the design a year ago.

When I started working on this project, I was teaching at the Shantou University. It took four years from concept stage to completion. The site is 45 mins drive from Shantou and Dongshanhu is a famous hot spring resort at the region. When the young client plans to develop its second phase, he wishes the architect to create a unique hot spring experience. The traditional hot spring makes the water as public space, while in our design we wish to make it as the core element of the hotel. When people bath, they will experience the nature and also the architecture.
