Stone House 石头房子

We have been discussing the locality of architecture, or the theory of environment, which is also an important part of building urban culture. The most basic thing is that different regions have different architectural techniques, which is one of the ways of survival that has been passed down through hundreds or thousands of years of learning by local people in response to the local environment, climate, geology and so on, and it is right that we should pass it on.

This is a small community of 16 unused villas which, once purchased, will be transformed into a community-based villa resort hotel. After surveying the area, we chose one near the main road and the community wall as a model.

This is a place where the Tu people congregate and has a long history, forming its own set of cultural traditions in all aspects, including architecture. After analysing the current state of the building, we recorganised the form and layout of the building. Without changing the main structure, the size and position of the windows were repositioned according to the new layout, based on which part of the walls and roof were removed. To better integrate with the local environment, we used local materials and traditional building techniques to construct the new walls, rediscovering the architectural texture of the area.

Inside, we designed four bedrooms to accommodate at least four couples or a large family. At the same time, there are leisure areas such as a bar and a chess room to cater for the needs of holiday entertainment.

我们一直在讨论建筑的在地性，或者说场所理论，也是构建城市文脉的重要一环。最基础的是，不同的地区有不同的建筑工艺，是当地居民顺应当地环境、气候、地质等条件，通过几百甚至上千年的总结而流传下来的生存方式之一，我们理应传承下去。

这里本是一个闲置的、拥有16栋别墅的小型社区，被收购后这里将被改造为社区型别墅度假酒店。通过现场踏勘后，我们选择了临近主要干道、靠近社区围墙的一栋作为样板展示。

这里是土族民族聚集地，有着悠久的历史，在各个方面都形成了自成一套的文化传统，包括建筑。在分析了建筑现状后，我们重新梳理了建筑形态和平面布局。在不改变现有主要结构的前提下，依据新的布局重新定位了窗的大小和位置，基于此，我们拆除了部分墙体和屋面。为了更好的融入当地环境，我们就地取材并选用当地传统的建筑技艺进行新墙体的砌筑，重新找寻本该属于这里的建筑肌理。

内部空间，我们规划了四间卧室，至少可以满足四对好友或者一个大家庭的居住需求。同时又设置了酒吧、棋牌室等休闲娱乐空间，以满足度假时的娱乐需求。
