The Lantern Art Space is located in Shunde Fengjian Water Town, Guangdong Province, which has a reputation of a thousand-year-old water village culture and strong Lingnan (嶺南) heritage. The town is a famous rural tourist attraction in history. There are large number of ancient bridges, classic temples and old trees around the site. The Zen Buddhism culture is predominant; the village sentiment is simple and natural, with unique cultural products and the internationally renowned Shunde cuisine. As rural infrastructure and supporting facilities cannot keep up with the local quality of life and the growing demand for foreign tourism, surrounding problems have gradually emerged, such as lack of cultural and art exhibition and exchange venues, poor quality of accommodation and hospitality facilities, traffic congestion, catering quality needs to be improved, tourism service support needs to be upgraded. The essence of the project is a building transformation in the context of rural revitalization. The design needs to rejuvenate 2 vacant houses and a garden with a river, and implant contemporary culture and art spaces and high-quality hotel facilities into them. The total renovation area of the project is 4,912 square meters, including the use of existing buildings to create a series of art gallery spaces displaying the works of more than 20 artists, 29 boutique hotel rooms, 3 special dining spaces, 1 outdoor garden with Lingnan characteristics, plus to retain and enhance existing ecological river landscape.
