“Listening to the City’s Signs of Approaching Rain and 
Flowering Season” becomes the main inspiration and theme 
of this project due to the owner’s exact words.
The sense of space can be brought into the building through 
the senses of sight and touch. In addition to the old 
structure and solving the serious leakage problem, a more 
complete plan for the future use of a 40-year old building 
must be done. This can be achieved by pulling up the 
proportion of the original chunky architecture, but also 
shaping a natural balcony, adjusting interior layout and 
coordinating natural light and landscape of the space.
Through dark brown glass and mirror, a sense of spatial 
extension can be seen through layer upon layer while 
reflecting the light and views. Whatever rain or shine, the 
building has been endowed with a poetic script having 
different stories as time goes by.
