This Taiwanese red-tile earthen house, with a history of seventy years, holds the deeply rooted emotional memories of four generations. The project is dedicated to preserving the spirit of the old house, transforming it into a living space that hosts family and friends while maintaining familial bonds.

The new structure follows the traditional layout of one courtyard, two side yards, three gardens, and six houses, with the inner courtyard as the core and surrounding spaces developed outward to serve practical functions. Upon entering the main gate, one is greeted by a spacious, modern, large-span area, conveying the revitalized energy of modern timber construction. The minimalist perimeter walls highlight the elegance of the wooden structure while protecting the homeowners' privacy. Entering through the outer corridor into the decorative porch (chuihua menlang), the exposed timber-textured concrete walls depict family memories, with the preserved flooring capturing childhood footprints of family members—bringing the original form of the old house vividly to life.

The interior design centers on a blend of old and new—simple, textured timber is used for the structural frames, allowing the main and side wings to engage in a dialogue through material unity. Exposed brick in the courtyard becomes a symbolic element within the space. Many treasured historical objects—old red bricks, tiles, doors—are artfully incorporated into the space, becoming beautiful traces of time.
