Description
This project reimagines rural living in Liangjiazhuang through a home for Ms. Wang, balancing tradition and modernity. Strict plot constraints are addressed with pocket gardens and street-facing windows to foster community while ensuring privacy. Flexible interiors merge living, dining, and courtyards, adapting to gatherings and quiet moments. Preserved grapevines, dual courtyards, and a skylit studio rooted in historic walls blend nostalgia with functionality. Hybrid materials—recycled adobe, red brick, solar panels—and low-cost innovations (tire molds, upcycled furniture) bridge vernacular craft and contemporary sustainability, celebrating the dignity of ordinary rural life.
