Co-living is not like the Tulou which is family living. There is no need for everyone to go to the shrine. Therefore, a single unit is used as a communal area and is separated from ordinary household areas, so as to avoid disturbing residents who did not participate in the activities when carrying out small activities. Each unit has a own semi-private.
Connecting all residential units and public units is like a corridor, allowing people to go anywhere they want to go, and people can gather and communicate better.
The circular opening has been submerged in the ground floor building, allowing sunlight to be seen no matter where it is in the middle of the floor.
