项目名称：西北院子

该项目是位于山西省五台山脚下一个小村庄的一处老宅子改造。当地环境西北风情浓厚，此宅业主小时候在这里长大，对家乡感情深厚，如今父母年事已高，他便把邻居一户废弃的院子也收购了回来，想把祖宅扩建并翻新，希望改造的结果既能扩大面积，加入现代居住方式的便利性，也能保留部分原貌，留住一家人当年的记忆与故事。

The project is an old house reconstruction in a small village at the foot of Mount Wutai in Shanxi Province. The local environment is full of northwest style. The owner of the house grew up here when he was a child, so he has deep feelings for his hometown. Now that his parents are old, he bought back his neighbor's abandoned courtyard and want to expand and rebuild his ancestral home. Through the reconstruction, he hope that it can not only expand the area and add the convenience of modern living, but also preserve part of the original appearance and retain the memory and stories of the family.

▼   原有风貌

基地位置坐西向东，后有靠山前方开阔，位于村子的最西侧，在大门前可以直接俯看村中心广场，并将整个村子尽收眼底。

The site, which is located on the westernmost side of the village, is located to the west and face to east with the mountain behind and an open area in front. You can directly overlook the village center square in front of the gate and take a panoramic view of the entire village.

原有院子面积不大，是较为标准的四合院，有些旧但特征鲜明。我们首先要保留的就是这些民间传统建筑语言，看看这些“特征性”能否和“设计感”碰撞出一些有意思的东西。

The original yard is not big in size, but it is a relatively standard courtyard house with some old but distinctive features. We must first preserve these traditional folk architectural languages and then to see whether these "characteristics" can collide with the "design sense" to produce something interesting.

由于基地地形和周边环境的限制（北边是邻居，东边是公共道路），扩建只能向西和向南，并且我们希望它能融入环境而不是格格不入，基于基地地势我们想象它向后（西）生长的趋势应该是倚靠或者镶嵌在后坡上，既像山上流淌到院子里的溪流，也像枕着山坡凝视远方的老人，与自然融为一体。

Due to the restrictions of the site terrain and the surrounding environment (the north is the neighbor and the east is the public road), the expansion can only toward west and south and we hope it can integrate into the environment instead of being out of tune. Based on the site terrain, we imagine its backwards (west) growing trend should be to rely on or be embedded in the backslope just like streams flowing from the mountains to the yard as well as old people staring into the distance on the slopes of the mountains.

中国传统讲究天圆地方，在这里“天”是环境“地”是建筑，主宅要方正，后（南）院要自然，并且我们希望它们之间既分明也要有某种形式的联系，不光联系了宅与园，也联系了过去与现在。

Chinese tradition emphasizes heaven and earth that “Heaven” means the environment and “Land” means architecture. The main house should be built in square shape and the back (South) yard should be natural. We hope that they are both distinct and also with some form of connection----not only the connection of home and garden, but also the past and the present.

最后的整体氛围我们希望得到的结果是种“静谧感”，我们回到这里应该能忘却城市的嘈杂，忘却时间，看着晴朗的天空品口茶回忆下以前的故事，我们要用四合院的“封闭”给予它私密性，用庭院与建筑间的“通透”给予它遐想的空间。

The final atmosphere we hope to achieve is a kind of “quiet feeling”. When we return here, we should be able to forget about the noisy city, forget about the time, look at the clear sky and taste tea to recall the previous story. We will use the "close" of courtyard house to make it private and use the "transparency" between the courtyard and the house to make it imaginative.

▼   通过角院材质的变化区分“老”与“新”的界限

我们通过一个纯现代的酒吧厨房将后院与主宅联系起来，与主宅的“西北禅意”形成对比，也是一个“打破”方正的透明模块，将传统与现代、封闭与开放、建筑与庭院之间加入一个过渡空间。

We connect the backyard with the main house through a modern bar kitchen,  which is in contrast to the “Northwest Zen” of the main house and also a transparent module that breaks the Square, adding a transition space between traditional and modern, closed and open, house and courtyards.




业主家是村里第一家有电视机的，当时电视机就放在北房这个炕头的小窗前，一到晚上全村的人都自备小板凳围坐在院子里看小窗里的黑白小电视，热闹程度可想而知。

The owner’s home was the first family to have a TV set in the village. At that time, the television set was placed in front of the small window in the north room. Once in the evening, people in the whole village prepared a small bench to sit in the yard and watch the monochromatic television through the small window. It is very lively in the yard.

持现有四栋建筑以及主院与四个角院改造前后的感受一致性：原有生活方式保留的体验感、原有空间味道保留的特征性。

If we want to retain memories, we must try to maintain the consistency of the existing four buildings, the main yard and four corner yards before and after the transformation: the experience that the original way of life retained, the characteristics that the original space taste reserved.
