"Siheyuan" apartment

“Siheyuan” is the most representative pattern to maintain the connection between families in China, architecturally and culturally. We tried to transform this concept into a modern high-rise apartment.

“Home” is a space to maintain the relationship of families in Chinese culture. People could pursue ease and happy life base on a stable home. The designer based on the traditional residence pattern “Siheyuan” in Chinese humanities, to develop the modern residence configuration in a high-rise apartment.

To import the fresh air and the beautiful view from the environment naturally, we make the semi-indoor garden in a high-floor apartment, as a courtyard of “Siheyuan”, which maintains the relationship of three generation of the family.

On the premise of keeping simple, applying wind-driven principle, the air convection at high-floor would save energy and get more from natural environment.
To reflect the true meaning of our living space in this modern and exaggerated Chinese society. Is it a space to show off? Or is it a space to make the families happy and secure? As I hope, we should live happily and comfortably in our “HOME”, and to deliver the point to our society.
A residential space would bring something new to the family and their friends. The major success of the project is not to change their point view of design, but to give the family a happy future.
