This scheme integrates multiple design elements, aiming to build a vibrant and sustainable new countryside for villagers. With the core concept of "Millennium Stone Rhyme, New Life in Xianli", it cleverly combines the natural texture of Kunyu Mountain's unique stones with the traditional wisdom of Jiaodong folk houses to create a gateway space with both cultural identity and functional complexity. Taking the "stone box" as the design image, the architecture reinterprets traditional stone masonry techniques through modern approaches, preserving historical memories while conveying contemporary aesthetics. Relying on the site's transportation, resource, and industrial advantages, the planning starts from three aspects—production, living, and ecology—to create an ideal stone-culture village with the integration of "three lives" (production, life, and ecology).
  • Theme Design One： Visit to Stone Town The tourist service center takes "dialogue between stones and mountains" as its core concept, integrating the natural texture of Kunyu Mountain's unique stones with the traditional wisdom of Jiaodong dwellings, to create a gateway space that combines cultural identity and functional complexity. The architecture takes the image of a "stone box" and uses modern techniques to interpret traditional stone masonry techniques. It not only carries historical memories but also conveys contemporary aesthetics, becoming the "first exhibition hall" for tourists to perceive stone culture.
  • Theme Design Two： Zen Stone Homestay With the core concept of "Zen Stone Symbiosis", we will integrate the traditional field shaped courtyard pattern with Zen aesthetics, rely on the original stone farm house base, and create an immersive cultural residence of "one courtyard, one scenery, one stone, one Zen" through the strategy of "micro intervention, light transformation". Designing with stone as the medium and Zen as the environment, reconstructing the spatial philosophy of the "Four Symbols of Tian" - Shiting (Jingguan), Shuiyuan (Lingdong), Chaliao (Qingci), and Chanfang (Guixin), making architecture a medium for dialogue between nature and the soul.
