Serene Courtyard

Man's love of nature is mainly derived from nature, and that is what nature brings. Listen to the patter of rain, watch trees swaying, smell the fragrance of flowers, feel warm and cold temperature. The design of the courtyard should also incorporate nature and construction. The combination of light, shadow and landscape enables the owners to experience the changing seasons while living and receiving guests. Experience the surrounding flowers and plants, ears whirling maple leaf, look up to the sky, bow the whole beauty of the landscape.

Before the renovation, the courtyard was similar to a Siheyuan, but on both sides of the courtyard were planted low irrigation irrigation to block the entrance. The crumbling walls, the height of the bungalow and the instability of the building all added to the difficulty of the later renovation. In order to maximize the square layout of the atrium as a link to the common landscape and form a spatial extension of the central diffraction, the design decided to eliminate the middle area to leave a wide area. At the same time to strengthen the steel structure of the bungalow, through the partition wall and the outside wall, increase the glass lighting of sunshine through surface.

Starting with the entry porch, the design respects the way the low wall jumps and because of the height limitation of the original courtyard, the metal laminate is connected and stacked through split-level to form a layer of material and structure. In the back of the porch there is a grape trellis, which the owner has left to insist that in the summer the vines on the top of the door will produce green or deep purple grapes, which he will then pick and share with his guests in the courtyard.

The design of the courtyard follows the relationship between space and people's needs, and does not overemphasize the supremacy of form or excessive pursuit of design form. The only purpose of the design is moderation, but also user satisfaction comfort scale.
