Yanan Monsion

Residential House for Gold Mantis

This case is a complete courtyard composed of three kinds of communication spaces: neighborhood space, natural space, family space and private interior space, which is the transformation from the space characteristics of traditional courtyard houses to the space image of Yan'an. The designer pursues a concise, vivid and harmonious atmosphere of the courtyard. In the way of proportion, emphasis and metaphor, the designer interprets the unique beauty of the courtyard from the aspects of spatial relationship, light and shadow change, indoor and outdoor space circulation and penetration.

Production Technology

The main materials in this project are natural stone and wood.

Design Challenge

In recent years, with the continuous launch of Chinese luxury projects, a variety of courtyard projects are springing up. However, due to the land area, planning requirements and various factors of modern people's life style, modern courtyard projects rarely completely copy the traditional courtyard form. Most of the projects are designed by taking the basic language form of the building and combining modern architectural techniques.

Project Duration

The project started in April 2018 in Yan'an and finished in April 2019 in Yan'an.

Operation Flow

The designer transforms the poetic plot of the interior space into the infinite reverie of blending with nature.

Research

The plot of a family living in a courtyard comes from the continuous and living emotional vein flowing in the blood of the family. The rooms are separated from each other, but through the link of communication space, we pursue the most desirable living experience of the courtyard - cohesion, stability, belonging and harmony among generations of families.

Inspiration

For the local culture of Yan'an, including the long history and the contemporary aesthetic, the designer's choice is only the continuation of the endogenous cultural blood, which is to create the Yan'an courtyard to understand the physical and spiritual double value of "Yan'an house", and to combine them into one.
