Bafeng Retreat covers a built area of 1,300 sq metres. Based on site conditions, the retreat is divided into three standalone architectural units: the café along the southwest side of Frog Lane, an L-shaped main retreat building, and a standalone guesthouse located on the northwest side of the site. The Retreat comprises three levels, the lowest of which is a semi-basement space 1.8 metres below the ground level. This layout was inspired by the vernacular cave houses native to the Turpan region. The semi-underground architecture boasts improved heat insulation and reduced summer indoor temperature, thereby reducing energy consumption.
