the renovation plan establishes the natural and steady spatial format
Along with organizing the required capabilities and repairing anti-infiltration and thermal insulation, the design crew it organically composes the inside spatial relationships and the assorted irregular landscapes on the corners between the buildings to kind out the small gardens and courtyards with various kinds of capabilities associated to one another.
