杭州
An aerial precedent for rural village preservation and adaptive reuse, showing how traditional tulou rammed earth architecture integrates contemporary structural interventions.
- What we like about this project
- A modern lightweight timber-and-glass insertion bridges two traditional rammed earth volumes over an open courtyard.

- Geometry
- An asymmetrical arrangement of multi-story courtyard buildings with grey gable and hip tile roofs interspersed within a sloping rural hillside village.
- Facade system
- Thick rammed earth exterior walls with minimal small window openings, opening inward to timber-framed courtyard galleries.
- Structural guess
- Load-bearing rammed earth exterior walls with internal heavy timber post-and-beam framing.
- Spatial scale
- Macro scale encompassing a village cluster and multiple two-to-three-story vernacular courtyard buildings.
- Lighting
- Soft overcast daylight casting minimal shadows across the grey tiled roofs and earthen walls.
- Atmosphere
- Quiet, agrarian historic settlement layered with sensitive architectural restoration.
- Environmental context
- Rural mountain village setting surrounded by terraced fields and rolling topography.
- Spatial experience
- A dense vernacular fabric where narrow paved courtyards and elevated timber walkways connect historical rammed earth enclosures with modern lightweight interventions.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating pitched roof ridges and courtyard voids forming an organic, interconnected urban grain.
- Style reading
- Vernacular historic adaptation with contemporary interventions
- Program
- Cultural preservation, community center, and rural tourism village
