Inspired by the burr puzzle, the Chinese traditional woodworking, the architect extracts its mortise and tenon joints as structural elements for application in dividing the building as a whole proportionally and combining different spaces. The blocks interlock to make one traditional, fun, and united form of space. The architect integrates Agarwood’s texture into the appearance of this project through architectural approaches to give the building the same sense as Agarwood and present an Agarwood-like treasure box.
