Unique Properties
Traditionally, In the Oriental concept of building a house, the vestibule and the backyard are essential, and they are necessary for transforming different spaces, so as the L House in the western suburbs of Chengdu. Opening the door and coming through the corridor to the ceremonial hall, we notice that the indoor and outdoor are connected to some extend thanks to the waterscape at the entrance courtyard and the lighting indoors. A vivid indoor space comes into our sight as a result.
Dimensions & Packaging
The project covers a total of 920 square meters.

Production Technology
In this project, the designer chooses natural materials rather than various luxurious decorative materials. The metal plates, dark wood and a large number of blank walls in the public area make the space look more simple and calm.
Design Challenge
A significant challenge of the project is that, in addition to providing the fundamental functional needs of the original standard double-patchwork villa space, it is challenging to create a personalized space and an open, airy space experience.
Research
A house should be comfortable for living and cultivating. With the development of one's aesthetic needs and spiritual consciousness, the house is no longer only a space for living, but assuming the function of cultivating residents' minds.
Inspiration
The designer takes the "courtyard" as the inspiration to organize the order of daily life to make sure the owner's living environment achieve balance between internal and external space, and the rhythm of life can be adjusted, thus creating a new leisured and cozy pace of life.
Project Duration
The project started in August 2019 in Chengdu and finished in December 2021 in Chengdu.
Operation Flow
A family elevator is added to improve commuting between the four stairs in terms of vertical movement lines. The stairs and the negative first floor entrance are near to the worker room, which can be successfully isolated from the master's moving line.
