This building received a mention for the Sustainable Renovation Grand Prize of the Green Solutions Awards International 2020-21.

The Project, located in Siqi Park, Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province, functions as a civic morality museum and adopts frame structure. Built in 2004, the existing building originally functioned as a tea house, and was vacant before the refurbishment. Based on the refurbishment method similar to Chinese “acupuncture and moxibustion” therapy from a point to an area, the Project not only integrates the concept of green building to reinforce and transform the building, but also retains the small and exquisite Jiangnan style of the existing building. Specifically, the building envelope structure is reconstructed to the structure of energy-saving and interior thermal insulation, creating more than 65% overall building energy-saving rate. For HVAC system, the Variable Refrigerant Volume (VRV) system is adopted, in which the fresh air is supplied by the total heat exchanger that performs the air purification function of haze removal and PM2.5 filtration. The whole building adopts LED energy-saving lighting. The building is also equipped with photovoltaic power generation and solar street lights in order to make full use of renewable energy. In addition, for the sustainable development of the building and its surrounding environment, Michelia trees planted in the existing building are retained according to local conditions, creating a compact and unique indoor landscape. The outdoor environment is green and beautiful, with 60.45% greening rate. The design concept of “Sponge City” is integrated into the transformation of the park around the building. Measures such as grassed swales, rainwater garden, permeable pavement and rainwater recycling pool are taken to effectively release the ponding at the plot and form a rainwater recycling system in the park for greening irrigation. At the same time, the building intelligent system is introduced to continuously enable the intelligent operation of "City Park" by means of equipment control, air quality monitoring and real-time display. After operation, indoor and outdoor environment monitoring data are displayed on large screen to effectively improve the quality of indoor and outdoor environment.
