It adopts the characteristics of southern Zhejiang and Sichuan, that is, the roof is suspended in the center, the front slope is short, and the back slope is long. The grape trellis is set between the south slope and the inner courtyard, and the vines are hanging around. The green leaf powder wall and the tawny floor glass window, the undulating gray roof reflect each other, the whole architectural design is novel
