Ka noho te Karapu Beijing hei whare karapu tūmataiti kei Beijing, e 400 mita tapawhā te rahi tae atu ki tētahi marae kei waenganui. Kei roto i tētahi whare tuku iho o Haina te rototanga, ā, ka whakaaetia e te hoahoa te noho ngātahi o te tawhito me te hou. E whai ana i te ariā o te Shade Rouge, i puritia te hanganga taketake, ka whakakotahitia ki ngā āhuatanga o ēnei rā, i te wā e whakanui ana te whakamaramatanga i te tae whero me te whakaroa i tērā puta noa i te wāhi.

Unique Properties: This is a Chinese traditional architecture, however, Isabelle hopes not only to revive its former glory or completely refurbish it but let the old and new coexist, let the current moment and the memories coexist. Isabelle is looking for a different perception of the environment, not a piece of wall or a column but the flow inside.
Dimensions & Packaging: 400 sqm including the courtyard
Tags: Beijing Club, Courtyard, IK Design, Red, Modern Chinese, Luxury, Private Club, Customized, Poetic Living
Production Technology: The treatment of the contact surface of the existing architecture and the newly built part is prudent. Metal strips or separating seams were applied to deal with the joint parts.
Materials: lacquer, mosaic, stucco, laminated glass, wooden veneer, wooden floor, brick, stainless steel
Design Challenge: It is challenging to add something new into the courtyard and what is the new atmosphere that could merge the existing and the modern?
It is not about to design a piece of wall or floor, it is about to create the new flow of the space, and how?
The whole process is more focused on the space in between and the void space. Besides, the lighting has been designed to extend the original temperament of the space to the newly built objects.
Research: Isabelle premises: What is design today and how could this guide the daily lives of people towards poetic living? She takes this as her long-term research program. As to this project, the research focuses on what kind of modern objects could be put together into a Chinese traditional architecture, which would achieve the coexistence of the old and the new, the natural and the man-made. The concept of Shade Rouge comes up to deal with the functional requirements and the subtle use of the lighting is to emphasize the red colour and extend it into the whole space.
Inspiration: The inspiration comes from many ways, primely, the poetic living research project by Isabelle, which inspires and encourages people to think poetically according to their daily lives. Secondly, the Chinese traditional architecture, its unique layout and structure could isolate the noise and the hustle from outside. Then, the courtyard in the middle makes this space vital. It is the private garden that people could connect with nature and the universe.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2018 and finished in June 2019 in Beijing.
Operation Flow: The courtyard in the middle interacts with all spaces gently and imperceptibly. Seasonal changes are perceived and influence the people inside and their events.
