Text description provided by the architects. The project is located in Wuyanquan Town, Yidu City, Yichang, which is called Shiyangshan No. 1.The site is a quiet rural area 1.5 kilometers down the national highway. Located at the foot of Shiyang Mountain, the land with mountains on the back and forests on the front is the highest point of the surrounding terrain, which has a wide view of the horizon. The owner, Mr. Xu, and his wife hope to realize their dream of escaping the city and returning to the countryside on this piece of land.Shiyang Mountain is named after the many white stones on the mountain, which resemble sheep. During the rainy season, water flows down the hills, carrying away the soil from the bottom. The exposed part of the rock, after being washed by soil and rain and weathered for years, presents different layers to muddy yellow color. However the bare rocks are not tightly together, the client tried to slowly dig out the soil between them, revealing various sizes of "gaps".
