House of Earth

和院

Location: Beijing, China

Scope: Arch+ID

Status: 2021

Area: 240m²

我们希望重现一个拥抱自然、保留旧时光魅力的庭院。嵌入T型钢的木柱撑起檐廊,柱列赋予了建筑光影和景深。低窗树影、石头小草,从前的小树仍在院中,延续着记忆。

灰泥,这一古老的工艺被唤醒。天然泥土与合成涂料不同,具有透气性,温暖、柔和,像皮肤样可以触摸。在一个由工业塑造的世界里,人们已经远离自然。然而,像我们的祖先一样,我们依然可以选择重新与自然连结,珍视和享受它的馈赠。

We hope to recreate a courtyard that embraces nature and retains the charm of old times. Wooden columns, embedded with T-steel, support the eaves, adding depth and vivid shadows to the space. Low windows, small stones, grass, and trees still quietly remain in the courtyard, preserving the building's "old" memories.

Cob, the ancient craft, is revived. Unlike synthetic paints, natural earth is breathable, giving the interior a warm, soft, and tactile feel. In a world shaped by industry, people have drifted from nature. Yet, like our ancestors, we can choose to reconnect, cherishing and enjoying the gifts of nature.
