Amazing reno! I really liked how they tried to save some of the existing structure and materials and feel of the original place but also upgraded it. Very unique layout. i dont think ive ever seen a layout like that before
I absolutely love this design. This is not a combination of "old and new." This is a melding of "old and new" into something unique and beautiful. I love Asian courtyard homes, but I'm not crazy about how they can separate buildings and people in them. This veranda design concept connects them while allowing them to still be independent. This is stunning and something to consider for future home designs.
This space doesn't have a good flow. I can imagine how inconvenient it would be to traverse the courtyard in the freezing Beijing winter, or have to circumnavigate from one side of the house to the other by walking all the way around the courtyard and passing through the bedrooms to get to the other side. I cannot imagine it would be comfortable to have floor to ceiling windows and hard surfaces when it's cold outside. Also, by removing the wall between the parking area and the courtyards, there's a direct line of vision from the street to the glass walls in the bedrooms which would eliminate any privacy in what should be private parts of the home. Would you want to lie in bed and look at parked cars? While the design looks appealing, it lacks function and isn't realistic to live in.
That's when veranda spaces come in so you don't have to walk through the courtyard. There are also two solid walls and planted trees blocking the view from the bedrooms toward the parking. And the glass walls in the bedrooms come with a hidden curtain. Please learn the most basic skill: reading plans.
@@elguapodelmonte215 in Netherland city, land is also owned by government too. China is just like huge city with more population. So there's nothing wrong if the government owned the land. They need to plan the land for the whole city and majority population, Not just let the land owners decide. If u let their landowner decide, there will be no much land for the middle classes and poors. There will be only luxury stuff.
Very successful project. The entrance needs work in my opinion. Some Chinese houses had an entrance courtyard that would lead to the main courtyard through a doorway. The entrance courtyard here is totally visually permeable meaning that you can see the banal SUV's in the garage from the rather glorious spaces in the rest of the house. If one looks at the plan at 1:35 a possible solution could be to place a screen between the garage walkway and the plants. I would also have used a screen aesthetic on the garage door. Olson Kundig have been able to use movable curtain walls to great effect in their architecture. If a garage door has to be incorporated into a historical house, I think it should be celebrated in a similar but contextually appropriate way, instead of unceremoniously inserted as in this case.
overall, I like it, but I have a question about the design: from what I understood of these traditional chinese houses, the idea of the external courtyards was to give privacy to the inner layers of the house. Wouldn't removing the backwall of the courtyard-turned-garage defeat the purpose of there being an external courtyard? now, when you open the door, anyone infront of the house can see all the way inside of it, rather than just the external courtyard. I guess the wall removal was necessary to fit a car in the garage, but wasn't there a solution that allowed for the external courtyard to keep it's funtion of screening the view of the house interior from those that are outside?
2:36-2:50 - We see the plan view and some images of the building, which suggests that the planting acts as a privacy screen between the garage courtyard and the rest of the interior. I imagine that fulfils the purpose of a privacy screen for the brief periods in which the garage door is open (for as long as it takes the resident to move the car in/out of the garage).
Because we all belong to a single humanity and can admire beautiful creation where ever it shows up-- in what ever form. It is racist to expect otherwise.
@@AditiSarkar he is not racist. You would naturally expect to be presented by a Chinese native as design is very traditional Chinese one and in China. I wouldn’t be surprised by the speaker myself if the same design was built in New Delhi. Usually those videos are talked over by designers themselves. But if this person just loves great designs and has Indian origin, kudos to him for following his passion and finding this great design and sharing with us 😊
@@tomaszstarzZz You know Tomasz, if this very Chinese native design was described exactly as it was by an American, a British, or even a person with a European accent, I really I wonder if @Moonbeeps would even think about writing what he/she did. Just think about it.
@@AditiSarkar You are right, i would not have written anything about it, because it would've been an english person talking in english, but it's an Indian person talking in english about Chinese architecture. It's not common. I probably wouldn't be watching if it was in and Indian language cause I wouldn't understand and UA-cam would not have recommended it to me. So enough with the racist shit just because we are asking questions.
@@archontube No you don't have to, the information you collect and bring to us are far from being not understandable. These people are just horribly disgusting. You're doing great, thanks for your hard work and passion !
Nice that these old buildings are being preserved as I think they are a real attraction!
I agree with you, thanks for the comment

Fusion of old and new👏❤️
What a stunning home.
Great work

very conceptual. looks perfect.
Very professional, very cozy!
Amazing💚💚💚 Planning👏
I am really impressed-great architecture !
Beautiful! ❤️
I really like everything that was done here. It would be lovely to live in. I would like more gardens on the inner courtyard and outside.
Love this❤
Amazing!! That's why designers are so important for renovations and new buildings.
Interesting 💯💯
That is beautiful
I love this video 👍👍

Ok then Show us yours? 😅
i just looked up it's location within the city, wow this would be valued at least 100 million USD
Yeh that's right, the refurb by itself would have cost 100 million USD, the land must be free for the CCCP.

I noticed so many of these types of courtyards in Beijing and thought. I wish I could develop them into a new stylist homes myself.

Interesting attempt to blend old and new, but imagine the various glassed in spaces would result in a fish bowl effect inducing claustrophobia...
Pensé que los arquitectos usaban en feng shui 🤔

That's the point, it's meant to be inviting, there's no front yard and no car park, typically we just park the cars on our streets since it's safe
wait so multiple houses converted into a single house? seems a bit backwards for urban design
uhhhhhhhhh.... excuse me, what the fork are those concrete round ceilings stuck out of the roof?
从房檐下面支楞出来的圆形部分简直丑到没边，而且这东西根本就让房檐变得毫无意义了呀。这样的改造根本就是毫不尊重原本建筑的美学原则，体现出的是改造者的无知和由无知引出的傲慢。我的天哪，怎么会有这么愚蠢的改造？
@@johnliu970 真的是醜到吐血。
@@johnliu970 我覺得很可能是委託人的問題。就是委託人其實對於生活空間的要求和想像根本與傳統合院不相容，但又想要藉著改造傳統院落來展現自己的文化底氣（？）結果就變成了這麼悲劇的成果。改造之後的所謂中庭根本沒有生命，只是被玻璃圍繞出的一塊死的空間。新的平面大幅增加了室內空間，因為業主需求的室內空間尺度超過原本開間的尺度，所以設計師只好硬加。好慘的院落。
@@yvonneyang5145 真的是，太悲剧了。惨到家了。我一个外行看得都火大……反正要么委托人，要么设计师，至少有一个是蠢货…………

Why is there an indian person talking about a chinese house? xd
