Nice that these old buildings are being preserved as I think they are a real attraction!

[jsunproter]

Amazing reno! I really liked how they tried to save some of the existing structure and materials and feel of the original place but also upgraded it. Very unique layout. i dont think ive ever seen a layout like that before

[Moon-rnel]

Amazing!! That's why designers are so important for renovations and new buildings.

I really like everything that was done here. It would be lovely to live in. I would like more gardens on the inner courtyard and outside.

I absolutely love this design. This is not a combination of "old and new." This is a melding of "old and new" into something unique and beautiful. I love Asian courtyard homes, but I'm not crazy about how they can separate buildings and people in them. This veranda design concept connects them while allowing them to still be independent. This is stunning and something to consider for future home designs.

This space doesn't have a good flow. I can imagine how inconvenient it would be to traverse the courtyard in the freezing Beijing winter, or have to circumnavigate from one side of the house to the other by walking all the way around the courtyard and passing through the bedrooms to get to the other side. I cannot imagine it would be comfortable to have floor to ceiling windows and hard surfaces when it's cold outside. Also, by removing the wall between the parking area and the courtyards, there's a direct line of vision from the street to the glass walls in the bedrooms which would eliminate any privacy in what should be private parts of the home. Would you want to lie in bed and look at parked cars? While the design looks appealing, it lacks function and isn't realistic to live in.

i just looked up it's location within the city, wow this would be valued at least 100 million USD

Interesting attempt to blend old and new, but imagine the various glassed in spaces would result in a fish bowl effect inducing claustrophobia...

loved this presentation mate good work.

im architect in turkish meditterrranean sea,
this house looks like a roman villa.

I noticed so many of these types of courtyards in Beijing and thought. I wish I could develop them into a new stylist homes myself.

Very successful project. The entrance needs work in my opinion. Some Chinese houses had an entrance courtyard that would lead to the main courtyard through a doorway. The entrance courtyard here is totally visually permeable meaning that you can see the banal SUV's in the garage from the rather glorious spaces in the rest of the house. If one looks at the plan at 1:35 a possible solution could be to place a screen between the garage walkway and the plants. I would also have used a screen aesthetic on the garage door. Olson Kundig have been able to use movable curtain walls to great effect in their architecture. If a garage door has to be incorporated into a historical house, I think it should be celebrated in a similar but contextually appropriate way, instead of unceremoniously inserted as in this case.

Pensé que los arquitectos usaban en feng shui 🤔

[brettpitman]

wait so multiple houses converted into a single house? seems a bit backwards for urban design

[marcelosilveira]

overall, I like it, but I have a question about the design:

from what I understood of these traditional chinese houses, the idea of the external courtyards was to give privacy to the inner layers of the house. Wouldn't removing the backwall of the courtyard-turned-garage defeat the purpose of there being an external courtyard? now, when you open the door, anyone infront of the house can see all the way inside of it, rather than just the external courtyard. I guess the wall removal was necessary to fit a car in the garage, but wasn't there a solution that allowed for the external courtyard to keep it's funtion of screening the view of the house interior from those that are outside?

excuse me, what the fork are those concrete round ceilings stuck out of the roof?

[moonbeeps]

Why is there an indian person talking about a chinese house? xd

[bdmix]
