On the inside most of the living room is empty, like a piece of Germany's villas, front lawns and high wooden fence is essential for Germany elements.
Some cottages have become the artist's Studio, in this environment may be more prone to artistic inspiration. Maybe later this developed into Beijing 798 creative industrial park.

Abnormal eye-catching bright yellow paint, but today the showroom did not open the door, don't know if it's already had a holiday.
