[ Living in Beijing hutong ]

Hutongs are the epitome of Beijing's history and lifestyle, carrying the living culture passed down from generation to generation.

As a native of Beijing, I have always fantasized about moving out of high-rise buildings and living in familiar hutongs like the older generation.

Therefore, for the first project, I took hutong as the design background, trying to create a unique old Beijing residence that changes as the user ages. floorage : 420m2 building storey : 2 building height : 8m greening rate : 20% plot ratio : 0.4

Site Analysis

The venue is located on the south side of Liulichang Ancient Street in Beijing. It originated in the Qing Dynasty and has a total length of about 800 meters.

It is by far the most populated and best-preserved hutong in Beijing, and it was once the mansions of dignitaries, where the older generation took pride in living

The site is located at the T-junction. The road on the north side is about 5 meters wide and the road on the south side is about 3 meters wide. Only pedestrians are allowed to pass through.

Most of the time, the residents will walk or ride through the street, so it is not crowded at ordinary times.

Surrounding environment analysis volume generation

Add a new mass on the left side of the original building structure, and use the original space as a new active space after covering the roof.

Change the double slope roof into single slope roof, and use the roof as accessible space for users

Part of the non-loadbearing wall in the house is designed as a movable wall.

Residents can change the indoor space at any time.

Residents can adjust the movable partition wall to make family life more convenient.

The plane layout mainly follows the living habits of the old Beijing courtyard. The east side is the second bedroom, and the north side is the master bathroom of the master bedroom.

The variable space set in the dining room and living room can be appropriately expanded according to the number of people on holidays.

Beijing people who live in hutongs are used to taking their doorsteps as an extension of the living room, making the whole street full of vitality.

Planting flowers in the yard is a local tradition and a topic of conversation.

[ Historic River and the space under the eaves ]

In the former Tianjin, individual businesses were very developed, but with the passage of time, these almost no longer exist.

Through the design of this building, I hope to arouse the memory of the local people who once lived by the canal.

Taking the image of water as the eaves, we hope that people can regain the feeling of talking and laughing under the eaves..

Regional culture analysis

Location analysis

Located in Hongqiao District, Tianjin, China, the site is an old area with a long history.

There are many art areas and commercial buildings around the site, and many tourist attractions are not far away from the site.

However, due to historical reasons, the current environment of the site is poor, so we decided to redesign it.

First of all, my team made an urban design for the site, and I personally made a secondary creation of the designed single building.

Indoor and outdoor perspective

The perspective of the south square often shows the first impression of the passing people and vehicles on the building, and at the same time, it also assumes the scene of local people's activities in the front square.

The drawings from other perspectives respectively show the indoor space and the courtyard space inside the building, which is intended to show the activity state of people in the space.

[ Plant a tree in the Sahara Desert ]

The Sahara desert region must use aircraft to transport personnel and materials, which is very expensive. It is difficult to provide these services in remote areas.

I try to design an independent and automated infrastructure, which appears in the image of a tree.

By absorbing groundwater and urban water resources, the living conditions of local people will be changed.

This project was completed in cooperation with my colleagues after I joined the third Construction Department of ZhongYuan International Company.

There were four members in the team, and I was responsible for the establishment of the model and the drawing of some facade plans and analysis diagrams.

Apart from photography, reading comics is one of my favorite entertainment in my student days. After learning architecture, I have always been very enthusiastic about illustration.

In addition to the drawing of conventional architectural drawings, I have also spent some time in drawing illustrations. As it is my first attempt, I will only select some illustrations to display here.
