Yahuang Village is located in Shihuang Town, Shengzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and is the birthplace of “People’s Diary”. The building is characterized by “connecting the doors of hundreds of families, understanding the emotions of hundreds of families, solving the difficulties of hundreds of families, connecting the hearts of hundreds of families, handling hundreds of family affairs, and achieving the prosperity of hundreds of families” and “600 spirits”, covering an area of 15240 square meters..
As a peaceful mountain town, Yahuang boasts a large area of Huizhou style architecture built against the mountains and rivers, blending the elegance of Jiangnan with the beautiful waters of Lingshan. Ancient bridges, gates, ancestral halls… scattered throughout the village. The village is surrounded by green mountains, with deep forests and lush bamboo. A Yahuang River runs from east to west, making it a beautiful countryside. The design aims to combine local ecological advantages to create a comprehensive red themed rural building that integrates commemorative display, multifunctional training, sightseeing tourism, and convenient services..
Entering from the southwest of the venue, the “People’s Diary” originates from the Comprehensive Experience Center, facing a stream and a mountain. The building itself opens up layer by layer in the form of a large mountain, and through the setting of the terrace gray space combined with the “breathing” facade form of transportation nodes, visitors’ vision does not stop at a one-sided and thin scene, but rather, as stated in “Lin Quan Gao Zhi”, the “far-reaching” of the three distances – “peering from the front of the mountain and behind the mountain, it is called profound. The profound meaning overlaps”. When writing an article on the word “qu”, there should be hidden and revealed, hidden and obvious, rising and falling, and the melody should be full of emotions..
Through systematic research on the texture of the site itself and the space of Zhejiang style residential buildings, the architecture presents a form of living functional spaces surrounding courtyard spaces. This form not only satisfies the daily life activities of villagers, but also makes the architectural space inseparable from the natural scenery. Form a courtyard structure that follows the natural shape and is appropriate to the countryside. “Chongluan” is its attachment, and “folk sentiment” is its meaning..
Layered tiles: The roof serves as the “fifth facade” and has always held an important position in the building.

By combining roofs in various ways, and vice versa, enriching the shape and contour of buildings..
Traditional Zhejiang style architecture, layered with tiles, is continuous and harmonious with the surrounding environment. And leaning against the mountains, the near mountain landscape composed of layers of tiles is layered with the true green mountain scenery. The design is composed of three overlapping ridges of tiles parallel to the natural mountain body, with peaks appearing horizontally on the sides of the mountain, varying in distance and height. Architecture can harmonize with nature and solidly integrate into the authentic rural life..
Distant Journey: The path combines human walking experience to design terrain space and communication logic, creating a “step by step scenery” garden space experience. The path can be a beautiful arc in the landscape, or it can be a parallel bright and refreshing, and it can also be a graceful and colorful interweaving. The path enriches the mundane space and allows visitors to experience the most beautiful scenery along the way..
