Other Projects by 过半儿 guò bàn er
House YU005
Beijing, China
A secluded garden becomes the center of living for a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
The project is located around 35 km northeast of Beijing's city center in the district of Shunyi; the architects renovated and extended an existing house. After transforming an abandoned dwelling into a courtyard house, this home provides great spaces for a garden and people alike. The secluded garden became the center of living for a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
An existing 125-square-meter main house and a 65-square-meter side house, typical of the rural fringes of Beijing, occupied the plot. The walls of the original building are made from brick without concrete columns. However, a ceiling height of over 3 meters and prefabricated concrete panels made the existing structure suitable for a modern residential conversion and addition. "We enjoy giving a vacant house a second life, transforming it from a building with inflexible spaces into a place of active living."
A residential addition includes a tea room, which is also used as a yoga studio. Every house's main room has a visual connection with the courtyard garden. Some openings into the courtyard provide a certain level of privacy, while the studio space has a folding façade along its entire length that connects it to the inner garden.
Instead of replacing the rather nondescript existing buildings, the architects integrated them, repurposing the existing structure to save energy wasted in new construction and construction costs as much as possible. "Our conversion project serves as a new model for escaping the spiraling rental costs of Beijing's inner city while increasing the quality of life. We are passionate about transforming nondescript dwellings and undervalued properties. Adaptive reuse is our approach to everything from sustainability to social values.
