在西方的设计观点看来，1.60 m x 3.00 m的密闭空间无法建设与投入使用。但本项目采用东方集约紧凑的设计思想，有效地激活与利用了小空间。

From the perspective of Western thought, a confined space of 1.60 m x 3.00 m is normally considered a non-buildable lot, a permanent non-place. However, this project proves the possibility of using small lots, in alignment with the eastern way of urban densification.

建筑的概念与灵感源于东方传统的“Shōji”与“Chōchin”。Shōji是传统日本房屋中的宣纸门，Chōchin则是用竹子和纸制成的传统日式灯笼。设计师从shōji中提取灵感，创造出可引入阳光的半透明围合结构，赋予内部空间轻松的氛围。同时，受到Chōchin的启发，在夜晚，建筑便成为一个编织的大灯笼。

The architectural concept also suffered from oriental inspirations: The shōji – Doors made of rice paper from traditional Japanese houses; and the Chōchin – Traditional Japanese lanterns made of bamboo and paper. From shōji we got inspiration to propose translucent closures that filters sunlight, bringing an atmosphere of relaxation to the internal space. At Chōchin, we are inspired so that, at night, the project appears, in the outer space, a large lantern.

项目采用名为maçaranduba的环保木材，由当地木匠手工制作。这些木条穿插组合成muxarabi织物，外部搭配乳白色亚克力板材作为围合结构。

The wood used is maçaranduba, from sustainable managements, handcrafted by local carpenters. The wooden strips were organized to form a muxarabi with a milky acrylic closure.
