View to the west house. Interior terrazzo floor is cast in one piece, juxtaposed with the textured worn-out granite square stones, and natural soil layer will allow three kinds of grasses to grow. All Passive House related technologies and materials are hidden from the view. The Tai-ming slab (a stone plate laid in between the two column pedestals) from Qing dynasty was discovered during construction and re-utilized. The space consciously combines new and old materials and furniture, and the result is a time-capsulated space that evokes sustained culture and their respected stories. Image © Zoulei
