The Eshan Practice has been experiencing its fifth year since 2013, House Lei is the one with the longest construction. Located in Shanyinwu Village, Eshan Township, the project should be a typical renovation of countryside residence, and also the home stay. The implementation process has directly reflected the architect’s reciprocation between two intertwined thinking, namely the Architecture of Artisan developed by the regional criticism in the contemporary architecture; or the possibility of introducing the vanguard technology for renaissance of countryside in China, Native Digitalization.
