This project involves the reconstruction of a storehouse. In this region, where strong winds and heavy rain are common, the outer walls are frequently battered by rain. Drip edges installed on the lime-plastered walls divert water away from the façade. Simultaneously, countless raindrops form on the walls. Over time, these marks would deepen and eventually cover the surface with numerous streaks. The appearance of the storehouse, bearing the accumulation of time, becomes a village landmark.
