The project is situated in the old town of Nanyang, featuring a mixture of traditional Chinese wooden residences and contemporary reinforced concrete houses. The regional building density is extremely high, with scarce public open spaces. The project site, covering an area of 2135m², is an abandoned public granary building complex from the early years of China's planned economy period. Comprising 8 buildings, all with traditional grey tile sloping roofs, the structures exhibit a mixture of wood, brick, and rammed earth, suffering severe damage and collapse.
