Through adaptation and organization of the modules, a courtyard was created based on existing terrace contour. The courtyard garden was wrapped by a canopied corridor running both up and down. The canopied corridor threaded the courtyard's two parts: the rest area and restroom area.

The rest area was formed by continuous transition of modular pavilions, for waiting and view-seeing. The setting of the viewing deck provided a waiting place and the best viewing spot towards the mountain.

The restroom skin was juxtaposed with twig and sanded glass, protecting privacy while creating interesting light & shadow effect. There were two hand-washing points at the edge of courtyard where water was charged directly to the ground after being filtered from the gravel basin.

From site selection, design strategy and materiality all the way to construction method, an innovative low impact design approach was adopted. This modular system was proved to be easily applied to the facility upgrade endeavors throughout the national park.
