Old bricks were collected from the demolition sites in nearby villages around Wuhan. After cleaning, the old bricks was used as a feature wall in the cafe of the hotel. Local memories preserved and historical culture inherited. The decorative walls and furnitures were made by the wheat straw boards from agricultural production surpluses. No formaldehyde is released, and does not pollute the environment. It shows simple and elegant, back to basics, and it reflects a kind of vitality. The materials can be reborn and give the opportunity for a second life.
