Go over the northern ridge of the Harrier Valley Castle and come to the entrance of Erdaoguan Village. The walnut trees that cover the sky make people chill and relax, while the courtyard of the second play behind the trees. The first time we stepped into the courtyard, seven or eight kittens were playing, and two dogs were lazing in the sun with no sense of looking after the house. A few hens were quite energetic, wandering back and forth doing nothing. This scene reminds me of the wonderful picture in the animated film "Tom and Terry", a scene that seems to be dangerous but is actually full of life. In other words, "biodiversity". However, the living space of young people seems to have similar characteristics. The intimate scale, public a... Mais

On the way to the project site, there is an abundance of lush green trees that decorate the surroundings. As we traversed the Guanting Reservoir wetland, we first saw the distant Xiaohaituo Mountain in the Olympic Park of Yanqing District, Beijing. After a few turns, our gaze fixed upon two rows of small houses situated in the northeast corner of Qianheilongmiao Village, at the conclusion of the fruit orchard. The terrain of the courtyard gradually rises from south to north. Adjacent to the east wall of the courtyard is a natural woods growing on a slope, appearing as if it has been expressly prepared for recounting a story of escape from the doldrums of adulthood and urban life.

At the end of 2020, near the Great Wall at Shuiguan in Huairou, Beijing, we designed three projects for Xiaoxi B&B simultaneously, perhaps it is more appropriate to call them rural hotels than B&Bs. DL Atelier Xi Youji Studio I have designed and run such hotels before, and I would love to have a unique living experience of “breaking away from daily life” and a lifestyle of “here and now”. Architecture, as a carrier of this conception, is not a “home building” in the first place, for it holds little real life and memory of the owner, instead it resembles a “theme park” with the characteristics above, a reciprocating game between reality and fantasy.

Harrier Castle is an extension of the Great Wall built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. “Beijing knot” route must pass through these narrow roads. Since ancient times, raptor birds have often haunted it, thus it got its name. After losing its military function, more than a dozen families still live in it. Although the houses have been rebuilt repeatedly, the 600 years old castle stone and 300 years old ancient locust tree still stur our mind with the signs of old times. Zhu Yumeng Zhu Yumeng Along the three meters wide country road, the stone castle wall can be seen from a distance. The wall is four to five meters high with an arched doorway in the south. The ancient locust tree straightly face the castle... Mais
