Here is the old villa, standing in the center of this city, witnessing two decades of wears and tears. After the deconstruction, mending, and reconstruction, it throughout breaks its original structures, and wakes up with the blooming vigor and vitality, forming the unique and distinct architectural styles.
The elapse of four seasons is just like a flashing moment. No matter how the light and shadows change, the true affection hiding behind the space remains the same. Chasing the light and shadows of diversified architecture, and seeking the leisurely and gathering musical notes, we are restlessly pursuing the most pleasant buildings, to capture the harmonious coexistence between lives and nature, and to return to the very original simplicity.
Over oceans and coasts, to find the place we love the most. Here is our house, ‘the box of happiness’ — sincerely wishing you were there, staying with me, and all behind us lies decades of years we’ve misspent together.
