Design Details
- Unique Properties
- It is a renovation project to transform a single-family steel-structured building into a Chinese style integrated office space. The designer must ensure the spatial functionality, create a Chinese-style environment, and alter the indoor lighting simultaneously. The designer built a wooden hanging house in the original building and transformed the interior space with architectural design techniques to form a reasonable spatial and optimize the space environment.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration comes from hanging houses in southwest China, which is an ancient wooden structure with a beautiful shape and exquisite structure, and strong regional characteristics. The designer built a wooden hanging house in the original building. The interaction between sunlight and the wooden house becomes the theme of the space, which forms a visual contrast between the interior and the exterior, leaving a deep impression on the visitors.

- Challenge
- The owner wants the interior space to be able to present Chinese features for the positioning of the company. The great challenge the designer was facing is to create a Chinese-style space in a steel-structured building that full of modern industrial characteristics. The designer uses traditional architectural techniques to build a new Chinese-style wooden house. The designer uses Chinese-style furniture, hangings, pictures, and other decorative elements to create a distinctive Chinese style design.
- Realization and Technology
- The interior hanging house is completely made with traditional techniques and an enclosed layout. One side is a two-story building on the ground, while the other three sides are in the air. Two rows of columns and beams are connected to support the suspended rooms and corridors. According to the traditional column and tie construction codes, tenon and mortise joints are adopted for all joints, and nails are prohibited.
- Operation and Interaction
