The structure is designed to be a filtration system, for both water and people. The region rains much, and thus allows much of the water to flow throughout the filtering system across each level of the building and down to the pond, creating a beautiful scenery surrounding the ancestral hall. The system also provides clean water for daily usage. The filtering through the people allow for the residents and tourists to have their own spaces throughout the Tulou.
