在掌握原有建筑的细节并检查了可被保留的构件后，建筑师以展现该区域原有的特点进行设计。场地的亮点是两座木屋和一棵茂密的古树，因此，如何利用它在一天中的变化成为设计的关键。设计师连接室内外空间，以此提高建筑的透明度。室内的墙体由不透光的实木制成，建筑师利用原有的结构进行改造。
After gathering the original building ‘s detail and examining the structure that can be kept and used again, the architect designed by trying to bring out the identity that is in the area. The highlight of this area is the wooden house and a large tree that has a long life with a beautiful shape that provides shade to the area is the key to the design with a variety of applications throughout the day . The designers tried to connect the inside and outside spaces to reduce the opacity of the building. The inside space is made from the use of a solid wood throughout the wall and there’s a small amount of light, which it mustn’t cause any change from the original structure.

该项目的策略是在原有框架之中插入半透明的现代材料。首先，建筑师移除了二层的墙体，保留原本的开窗，将半透明塑料板切割成与原木板相同的尺寸，以原有的安装方式替换老旧的木墙。其次，底层的外墙使用玻璃砖建造。这些材料不仅价格低廉，便于施工，而且使得原本封闭昏暗的房屋变得更加通透。
Beginning with the inserting a translucent modern materials into the building frame at various points. Removing the top of the wall and keep the wall frame with the original opening, changing the materials from the old wooden wall to the scales flake polycarbonate sheet, cut into the same size as the original one, Install the old wall wheel pattern same as the installation of wooden wall along the original building and choose to use clear glass blocks to form the below building. Aside from these materials can be founded in the area with affordable price, it also helps to make the opaque building to be more translucent, able to use a natural light inside the building by the construction method is also friendly to the local technicians as well.

建筑师仿照原有建筑的样式进行重组、使用现存的建筑框架、尽可能保留原有光照方式，让使用者在不同的角度欣赏古树。因此，建筑师在墙壁上使用半透明材料，树木的阴影透过它将室内外联系起来，增添了不同时刻的趣味性。
Begin by copying the original building’s style to reorganize , choose to use the existing building frame and keep the old light way pattern as much as possible , and use the effect of the tree in the different styles to use it in the design. We therefore look for the translucent materials to decorate so that the effect of shadows , reflection from the tree can link to the exterior and interior of the building and also increasing the interest of the building in the various moments through lighting.

景观元素围绕两栋房屋之间的树木设置，连接建筑外部空间，在郁郁葱葱的树荫下形成就餐区。
The courtyard between the 2 buildings uses a landscape to surround the courtyard in the middle of the tree to connect the space between the building , creating a dining area of the the restaurant under the shade of the beautiful tree.
