By the Naxi village, watching the sunrise with my bestie

Naxi culture emphasizes nature worship and harmonious coexistence, with the core of Naxi Dongba culture being "humans and nature are brothers." They are not objects to be conquered [Grin][Grin][Grin], but intimate partners. The design concept is reflected in "bringing the scenery indoors" and "organic growth." The architecture combines old and new, integrating the old inwardness, privacy, centripetal nature, and family-inclusive life philosophy with the openness, comfort, and convenience of new buildings. This represents a dialogue between architecture and the environment, not a confrontation. [Happy][Happy][Happy] The design inspiration is that for any space or function, first consider how to establish a connection with nature (wind, light, water, plants, distant mountains) and create a new world with centripetal force and a sense of enclosure. [Yeah][Yeah][Yeah] The old buildings’ earth, wood, and stone structures are moisture-resistant and stable, with wooden structures bearing the main roof weight. The suspended gable-style blue tile roof protects the earth and stone walls and also gives the building form a sense of elevation. The new buildings use a minimalist construction method, with rammed earth paint serving as a bridge to harmoniously link the old and new buildings. [Cute][Cute][Cute][Cute]
