Dongximen Village, established in the Qing Dynasty, is at the foot of the range of Mount Tai. This small village grew silently for hundreds of years, until the villagers left and then gradually declined. In 2019, LuShang Group introduced the Pusu Inn here in an attempt to activate the village as a high-end resort. During the design process, with respect for the original site, we use as little design techniques and materials as possible to naturally reveal the temperament of the site itself.

Each volume is opened at a corner, and the opening is highlighted by the weather-resistant steel plate and black steel plate. The reception, children's activity room, bubble pool and stairs are led into the atrium. The independence of the building block and the integrity of the internal space are simultaneously reflected. The original pothole in the center of the site was renovated into a stepped sunken courtyard, making it flexible and stable. And set a sofa there for the visitors to enjoy the natural view from the generous glass.

Escape from the urban reinforced concrete, just to feel the primitive nature. The natural beauty and the original courtyard space are the core of the entire living experience. With the existing rubble façade, the steel structure system makes it possible for the panoramic views and renders the demarcation between inside/outside ambiguous. The visual passage is defined by the solid walls on both sides, fully opening a landscape view of the mountains. The bed is also set facing the mountain, so that visitors can awake in nature. While maintaining views through the L-shaped glazed façade，make the visitors asleep in nature. And the terrace allows the visitors to get closer to nature.

Each room is partially opened to the courtyard, and the sliding door of the public living room can be fully opened, at which time, the internal and external public spaces have no boundaries and are integrated into a whole. Combined with the interspersed relationship of the ceiling and the difference in materials, we strengthened two visual channels in the space, allowing the visitors to admire the scenery in the distance and nearby. In the case of sufficient space and depth, the space is confined by the processing of the height difference, while providing a better viewing perspective. The washbasin extends horizontally turns into a bar counter space.

It is our pursuit to use gray color to operate the space atmosphere, which is different from other similar resorts. As the building with the heavy rubble is perfectly integrated into the mountain, we hope the interior is also in this way, so that the mountain, courtyard and indoor space are integrated into one. The grey surface is coated with concrete texture, which is rich in details while ensuring the purity of the overall tone. The pure colors and geometric shapes make the visitors feel calm and peaceful. The convergence of gray concrete combined with the geniality of walnut wood grain makes visitors feel quiet rather than cool. Against such gray tone, walnut wood is interspersed with the natural feeling and comfort of wood, bringing suitable warmth to the guest room. linen and rattan plaited articles add soft touch and natural toughness.
