The Design
About The Peach Garden Hostel La Famille D'accueil
Dans ce projet, le designer fait preuve de suffisamment de respect pour la vieille maison lors de la reconstruction. La partie supplémentaire adopte la forme d'une structure en bois, ce qui non seulement donne un aspect naturel au lien entre les bâtiments neufs et anciens, mais donne également à la nouvelle partie une sensation de légèreté ainsi qu'un espace continu. Au pied des montagnes et de la Grande Muraille, l’interface transparente est impressionnante, surtout lorsque l’architecture et la nature se mélangent.

- Production Technology
- During the reconstruction of the old house, the original timber structure has been reserved, while part of external walls has been renewed. As for the strategy of light construction, it is sustainable and can achieve high construction quality by a low cost.
- Design Challenge
- The depth of it was quite small, about 4.2 meters. Obviously, the small space was not able to satisfy the new functional need. Therefore, the design team extended a multi-function hall by timber construction in the southeast corner, which is closed to the original annex. And the key problem in design is how to minimize the effect of newly built part on the historical building. In the end, the design team decided to remain the strategy of light construction, which is what they have been studying and practicing.
- Research
- The rebuilding concept is based on the relationship between architecture and nature. On the one hand, the design team chose the raw materials of nature – timber, which is also the original bearing structure of the old building. On the other hand, they utilized large area glass to allow nature permeate into the room. Through the glass, guests are able to enjoy the beauty of the seasons as well as the Great Wall.
- Inspiration
- In sharp contrast between the old and the new, the heavy and the light, the historical building is reborn.
- Project Duration
- The project was completed at No.10, Shihuyu Village, Jiuduhe Town, Huairou, Beijing, China in 2019.
- Operation Flow
- During the reconstruction of the old house,the design team reserved the whole stone walls, but rebuilt the southern wall. Meanwhile, they redesigned the entrance and windows, as well as the viewing boxes. They tore down the shabby roof, added insulation and waterproof layer, as well as the skylight. In addition, the traditional grey roofing tiles have been recycled. What is more, the design team utilized large area glass to allow nature permeate into the room.
