The project revolves mainly as a result of the following three concepts. 1. Integration into the nature-grown settlement: the textures and language of the architecture produced by the villagers are perpetuated. 2. Contemporary continuation of traditional spaces: the prototypes of the architecture, such as the hall, the patio, the corridor and the sun terrace, are derived from the dwellings of Yao. 3. Utilisation of low-skilled engineering methods: using ordinary inexpensive materials such as red bricks, cement blocks and concrete that are consistent with what villagers build themselves, with appropriate improvements to local manufacturing techniques and details where conditions permit.

All in all,Self-built construction has long been limited by cost, technology and aesthetics, presenting a " simple" and " random" state in China's current countryside. While based on the ease of implementation and adaptability of the local context, materials and construction methods, this design maintains the principle of 'light intervention' and attempts a 'borrowing' design, which means referencing the texture, materials and craftsmanship of self-built structures, as well as a contemporary translation and reconstruction of selected spatial genes of Yao heritage dwellings.

All of these are catalysts that attempt to evoke a renewed awareness of the environment and cultural identity of the inhabitants, which may have 'realistic' and 'universal' implications.
