This is the first cultural tourism resort in Sichuan with the theme of agricultural culture. Deeply rooted in the typical western Sichuan style represented by Dazengba Village in Qionglai, the design integrates traditional Chinese garden aesthetics with the natural environment of the region. The resort is a contemporary reinterpretation of the architectural culture of Western Sichuan, which integrates homestays, diversified art and dining venues and children's art creative center. The site stretches from northwest to southeast and includes residential areas, dense forests and fertile farmland. Its design references the famous Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou, while retaining the inherent spatial nature of the area. The project embodies the ancient Chinese philosophy-the unity of man and nature, and skillfully integrates landscape, architecture and greening to achieve a symphony of nature and culture. Here, the charm of the natural environment is skillfully introduced into the interior, and the interior elements are carefully arranged to create a dynamic interaction. These methods create an environment that is both captivating and artistic, with design elements that complement each other. As visitors move through the space, the surrounding landscape unfolds dynamically, taking them on a vast and vibrant journey. The project adopts the method of overall demolition, renovation and reconstruction. The roof construction is influenced by the traditional gray tile hanging mountain roof, with changes in gable or single slope bending to supplement the different structures. This approach both inherits and innovates traditional architectural forms. In addition, locally sourced materials, such as raw stone, gray bricks and logs, ensure that the building is aesthetically in harmony with the natural environment. As an important part of local culture, these distinctive buildings vividly tell tourists the unique charm of western Sichuan culture. The interior design integrates the culture of western Sichuan with the needs of contemporary cultural tourism in a deconstructive way. The Cultural and Creative Center immerses visitors in the unique regional culture, nurtures their creativity through education, and enhances family interaction. It also showcases the rich heritage and contemporary evolution of the western Sichuan culture, reinterpreting traditional culture in a fresh and vibrant way.
