Dun'ao Village sits inland among low hills and rice fields. The project began with a desire to reflect the calm, poetic atmosphere of the secluded landscape. Design started with sketches and poems, prioritizing lightness, openness, and play over rigid architectural frameworks. Three abandoned utility structures were revitalized using a combination of steel containers and inflatable forms. Prefabricated systems enabled rapid installation and provided flexibility. The interventions create playful spatial experiences distributed across three sites within the village. The approach emphasizes speed, adaptability, and a gentle response to rural context through lightweight, modular construction and imaginative spatial sequencing.
