They seek to construct a unique building, in harmony with the surrounding natural world, growing out from the woods, and still keeping the life of the original building without being interfered, continuing to run inherently and flowing out of it, making the nature become a driving force behind the building, presenting the user with a history which keeps and blends perfectly into its surrounding.

Trees are growing out of the building to form a thick umbrella canopy which covers the roof and wraps the entire building. Therefore, designers eliminate the shield by enclosing Ming Pavilion with glass, which allows the leaves and branches to filter the sun, rain, dew, wind, snow and moon light, to release the homely feeling of being surrounded by nature, to sense the fast-changing natural breath along with the whether transformation.

Settings of inside and outside of the yard complement each other. The inner yard which is the heart of the building inhales the natural breath spreading from the outside. At the same time, the building exhales its own sign of life, making the whole building breathe in the woods cheerfully and freely. Looking at the somewhat dilapidated and lonesome old building standing there, Yi Chen and Muchen Zhang decided to take memories as the key point of Blue Lake Restaurant. And let the journey of time to be the topic of its spatial interpretation. Make every human coming to read this experience feels like it is rooted from a predecessor of Blue Lake, and our own childhood as well, or our parents.
