Chenjiapu Village, where the project is located, has been included to the list of Chinese traditional villages. Chenjiapu Village is set on steep cliffs at an elevation of 800 metres. The village's rammed earth and timber residential structures are erected along the slope, with terraced fields scattered in a stepped pattern. This project's adaptive renovation focuses on several rammed earth dwellings to reuse as the hotel's public areas and guest rooms. The design team conducted on-site studies of the ancient farmhouse, retaining parts of the rammed earth walls, stone walls, and functional buildings. The functional arrangement was modified based on the original spatial pattern. The design adopted two tactics. The first was to collaborate with local craftspeople to rebuild rammed earth and stone walls using traditional techniques. Recycled tiles, stones, wood, and other materials were ingeniously repurposed during building. Second, new prefabricated assembly structures were employed for inside structures and window frames, which improved the building's physical performance and comfort. The adaptive transformation is tailored to the original conditions of each house. The lobby was originally a rammed earth and timber residential building with a collapsed courtyard. The courtyard was rebuilt as a central landscaped courtyard, the front hall became the check-in hall, and the second floor of the rear room was converted into offices. External rammed earth walls were protected and repaired, and internal structures underwent major renovations following traditional methods. In the middle of the site, there is a three-story brick building descending along the cliff. According to the spatial arrangement of the site's layers, the design included a cliffside cafe, a bakery, and a tea room. The layout of the guest rooms was adjusted based on functional needs, ensuring that each room enjoys a picturesque view through well-placed windows.
