Red Valley Dwellings is located in the western valley of Dongfengyun Art Town in Mile, Yunnan, extending line+’s continued practice on this red-earth landscape following the Dongfengyun Art Center. Originally proposed as an artist residency, the project needed to accommodate a mixed program of living, creation, and exchange within a compact mountainous site.
Starting from the relationship between local dwelling typologies and the mountain environment, the design reinterprets the Hani “mushroom house.” Its spatial logic of being broad below and tapering upward is abstracted into a more geometric order, generating the project’s basic formal strategy. In response to the terrain, the architecture is broken down into multiple units. Courtyards and corridors organize the spatial structure, allowing circulation to unfold from high to low along the site’s elevation changes, forming a spatial logic consistent with the mountain landscape.
Facing the intense sunlight and complex terrain of Yunnan’s plateau environment, the design avoids the transparent expression commonly seen in architecture set within landscapes, and instead turns toward a more inward and cohesive spatial strategy. Window openings are deeply recessed into thick walls, while controlled apertures regulate the entry of daylight, allowing the architecture to become closer to a “container of light.” As time passes, light and shadow move slowly through the solid interiors, while fragments of the valley landscape are gradually drawn inside, creating a subtle spatial experience between enclosure and perception.
The project began in 2020 and underwent several years of development, followed by a programmatic shift in 2023. It gradually evolved from artist studios into a wellness and spa-oriented program. This relatively long process of transformation further directed the design toward a response to “spatial adaptability”: with courtyards as the core and hierarchical relationships replacing fixed functional zoning, the project establishes a reconfigurable spatial framework. As a result, the architecture maintains structural stability through its functional shift from creative residency to public healing, while generating a new spatial order through ongoing use.
