At the core of the design are the renovation of an existing glass-gabled building and the construction of a new structure behind it. The renovated building was restructured to emphasize openness and visual continuity. Previously, the abundance of interior and exterior elements prevented the full utilization of the glass façade. Therefore, unnecessary interior elements were removed, and exterior equipment was relocated to ensure clear sightlines. This created a space where children can run freely while being safely watched over. In front of the building, a lawn seamlessly connects with the sidewalk, allowing visitors to enter the premises naturally.

The Seto Inland Sea is acclaimed as the most beautiful place in the world for the beauty of the calm sea when the wind dies down and the waves become gentle, and for the beauty of the archipelago of small islands in the inland sea. The beautiful colors of the sea are inlaid with jade green, and the essence of Setouchi's charm is expressed through the four seasons and artwork by local artists, leaving a strong impression on guests.

The design of the lobby is inspired by the breathtaking scenery of Xianqiao Mountain, where the essence of design and the charm of nature blend and enhance each other beautifully. At the center of the lobby area, an artistic landscape stands majestically. A stone sculpture of an immortal, poised and elegant, stands under the green pines and cypresses, resonating with the legends of Xianqiao Mountain. As Hegel said, “Architecture is frozen music, and design is flowing poetry.” Through design, the legends of the Guizhou region are vividly brought to life in the architecture.  Jade-like polished marble is the primary material selected by the designers, whose delicate texture, as warm and smooth as jade, fills the space with light and colour amidst the interplay of light and shadows. The openwork screens partially conceal murals of bamboo shadows, as if transplanting the scenery from distant mountains indoors. Carrying the mild bitterness of a gentle breeze and the fresh scent of bamboo leaves, these elements infuse the space with the essence of a mountainous atmosphere.

Each public space is imbued with its own unique natural design attributes, transforming the environment into a dynamic interplay of heights and depths, brightness and shadows, flowing lines and jagged edges, rugged or narrow valleys, streams, boulders, skylights, or dense mist. Through the use of internal structures and custom textures, the space is designed to evoke a sense of timelessness, liberating visitors from the fast-paced rhythm of urban life. It aims to lead the mind inward, allowing a brief escape from reality through these natural elements and fostering an experience of wandering through nature.
