The project involved retaining and repurposing the existing structures and introducing new accommodation buildings that complement their industrial aesthetic.

The architecture designed by Dong Gong of Vector Architects and the interiors designed by Ju Bin of Horizontal Space Design aim to emphasize the connection between old and new.
