Five strips of different lengths are arranged in the direction of the canyon, like a row of piano keys, with staggered heights, echoing the ripples on the lake, as if they are writing a beautiful fairy tale of the town.The scheme allows more stories to happen here using the elevated ground floor, the large water-friendly steps, and the interweaving of light and shadow while solving the problem of space constraints around the site.

The Cyan House is a 70-year-old historical building in Chongqing Jiaotong University(CQJTU). It was named after its primary material — cyan bricks. Earlier in 2019, it was estimated as a municipal cultural heritage, and a subsequential renovation was proposed. We architecture students were encouraged to provide ideas for its transformation

The Cyan House's location (between university’s retired faculty apartments and the teaching area of CQJTU) makes it a perfect venue to host senior activities. The project aims to reach a win-win situation in which the elderly can be served voluntarily by students, and in turn, students can benefit from such educational activities.
