The design team started the John Knox Village transformation by working together to create a comprehensive campus plan which also facilitated its rebranding. The plan emphasized the importance of openings between existing buildings, revealing an important missing element: a heart at the center of the campus that aligns with the long-term vision for both residents and the community. As a result, the site was reimagined as an “experience district,” with lakeside pathways linking the village’s social, cultural, fitness, dining, and residential nodes.

Located in a community built in the 1980s on the county border of Fenyi, Jiangxi, the old house has been standing there for over forty years. Time stands still in the community while the world outside has undergone radical changes.

Lack of daylight and poor ventilation in the interior pose relevant safety concerns for the house owner who is in an old age. Thus, improving the quality of life in the old house within a limited budget is set to be the key target of the project. The community sits next to a railway. Most walls in the community are built in the style... More
