Most of the new buildings we come across nowadays are made of steel and concrete or some steel beams, and over time we forget what we have. This is a bit different from our traditional Chinese architecture. I would much rather go back to the countryside than to the high-rise buildings of today, because apart from the fact that there is a more humane and smoky atmosphere, there is also an architectural wisdom that I would not have thought of, because they are experts in the use of natural materials and they don't mind or even notice that the corners of their homes are dirty, because they are supposed to be traces of life. I am not saying that this is bad, but I think that the houses that we Chinese use should have our own culture in them

In the old days we used to recycle old materials to build houses. At the beginning of the project I went back and forth with the Van Gogh team several times to the local suburbs, to several remote villages to try to find materials that we could use. It's a great way to get a sense of simplicity and purity. I couldn't help but think back to the old mansions I lived in as a child, and I began to study the materials used in them, the textures, the light and shadows, and the selection of materials. Perhaps the walls are slightly peeling, revealing a coarser, more natural texture, or the floor becomes white in direct sunlight, with a fascinating gradation of colour against the surrounding area.

The founder of Van Gogh says "he did not want Van Gogh furniture to become a fad, he wanted a piece of furniture that would be used for a decade or even decades. The wood is alive, and when a piece of furniture ages the edges are rounded and oiled, and the surface may bear the marks of age, and every detail contains the story of time. At the same time, the designer brand also has the responsibility of making traditional craftsmanship valuable in new design forms, thus preserving and passing on the unique craftsmanship of our people" and we see that the whole atmosphere of the building feels quiet and natural, without any deliberate decoration. The small windows on the walls throw in a little light at the right angle, and you can see the dust flying and exhaling in the sunlight. Everything has a frank rustic air, the original mountain air. This kind of mountainous countryside, in other words, is the atmosphere of earthly fireworks, the real worldly routine, the breath of real life. They have stripped away unnecessary external adornments, removed impurities and preserved the true nature, allowing nature and humanity to achieve the most perfect combination, revealing a unique sense of beauty in an unconscious way. These are closely related to the culture of Van Gogh itself, which is the same.

The whole space is controlled by the grid and light, creating a dark and mysterious atmosphere, like being in a primitive cave world, which allows for endless speculation and stimulates the desire to explore. The whole building has an interesting line of human action, shallow, rambling, constantly changing scenes, constantly moving through the winding hutongs and narrow, deep alleyways.
