The project is located at the southern of the old city of Lhasa, on the northern bank of Lhasa River, in an old residentiel area of Xianzu Island.The house is in the first row facing the the Lhasa River and the Aquarius Hill in front. The house is a courtyard surrounded by two rows of buildings at the front and back: the front row has only one story, containing the kitchen and dining room, and the back row has two stories, containing the living room and bedrooms. The original is a hybrid style with European and Tibetan elements.
The owner wants to turn the yard into a b&B. But the present house has many inadequacies in the function. For example, because the front kitchen is facing the road inside the community, there is no window so, resulting in dim and ventilated poor; The front roof can enjoy the river view, but at present,to climbing the roof we using a simple small steel ladder; in the second floor of the bedroom back row , two bathrooms should be added etc....
Therefore, in terms of the design strategy, while retaining the original architectural pattern, we used small operations and added some small geometry: microgeometry, to complement the absence of the original function, while stimulating the quality of the space.
Added daylighting high window in kitchen space for instance, make the kitchen becomes bright and comfortable, at the same time skylight serves as the safety guardrils of terrace above kitchen again. There is also the location of the original storage mezzanine on the second floor, where we break through the roof and add a bathroom to bathe in the skylight, while the skylight brightens the originally dark stairwell. The same built-in geometry includes the steps to the terrace; the bridge connecting the two rows of houses; the entrance gate; and the addition of a floating staff toilet etc.
When it comes to architectural language, you don't need to show off any more when you're in such beautiful scene. Therefore, the building was kept as simple as possible, and all superfluous decorations and symbols were removed. For construction technique, we use the most simple process. The way that workers are most familiar with: Concrete mold, flat steel welding, indoor plain cement floor, wood doors and Windows on-site production, paint exterior wall and so on... Eventually the entire building was unified into a modern White House. The white exterior walls are made with a local technique: yak bone oil mixed with white lime, an very commun material found on the exterior walls of many houses and religious buildings. In the meantime, the white color formed the wonderful balance on dimensional match color with the colorful ethnic objets bought from Lhasa by house host . The courtyard was originally planned to be paved with small stones, but it was not found in the local market, so it was replaced with conventional stone paving lined with pebbles, which were picked up on the beach of Lhasa River.
In the south of the building, the window hole is expanded as far as possible to bring more river view into the rooms and let the abundant sunlight of Lhasa into the room. In the north, there are all small holes except the sliding door made in the courtyard.
