Beijing's siheyuan courtyard house is the most typical form of northern Chinese residential architecture. Early siheyuan featured strict spatial hierarchies, but with the development of society, they gradually transformed into large, communal-like courtyards, where these public spaces did indeed bring residents closer together, yet also deprived them of privacy.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!This project is an exploration by the client and designer of a new residential model for Beijing's Siheyuan. Despite the modest size of the project, the client hoped it could still accommodate both themselves and their friends, with excess rooms even potentially operated as a hotel. A "communal" lifestyle akin to that of "Friends" was envisioned, necessitating a shared living room space where everyone could gather and dine together, yet each person would have their own living unit.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The building to be renovated is a standard single-courtyard siheyuan located in Chuziying Hutong, Tianqiao. The courtyard was enclosed years ago, transforming it into an indoor space.
