非极致建造：诗意的野蛮生长 Unconstrained Construction: Poetic Wild Growth
项目位于云南大理，由一座晚清时期老民居改造而成。我们在保留原有建筑肌理与场所记忆的基础上，将其更新为一处复合型迷你生活馆，融合餐饮、家具展陈、手作体验与设计工作室等功能，让传统建筑在当代生活中获得新的延续。
▼场地手绘，Site hand-drawing
Located in Dali, Yunnan, this project reimagines a late Qing Dynasty courtyard house as a contemporary lifestyle space. Respecting the existing architectural fabric and historical memory of the site, the renovation introduces a hybrid program that combines dining, furniture exhibition, craft displays, and a designer’s studio. Through the dialogue between old and new, the project offers a renewed future for traditional architecture while fostering a richer connection between design, culture, and everyday life.

场地初印象：野蛮生长的力量 First Impression of the Site: The Power of Wild Growth
初次踏入这片场地，一股强烈的生命力便扑面而来，瞬间击中了我们。坍塌的老屋墙面上，野草肆意蔓延，一路生长至院落深处；一株缅桂从杂草中破土而出，肆意生长的枝条甚至长到了屋檐。当阳光穿过老屋的梁柱，将斑驳的光影投在地面上时，这种不受拘束的 “野蛮生长”，像一股洪流直冲心底。我们不禁联想到吴哥窟 —— 自然与文明在此共生，时间与人文相互交织、彼此支撑，最终融为一体，难分彼此。而我们的设计，正是希望将这份源于场地本身的感动，延续并融入到项目之中。
▼设计草图，Sketch
Stepping onto the site for the first time, we were immediately overwhelmed by an intense surge of vitality. Wild grasses spread rampantly across the crumbling walls of old houses, stretching all the way into the inner courtyard. A Michelia alba pushed through the weeds, its sprawling branches reaching even up to the eaves. As sunlight filtered through the beams and columns of the aged buildings, dappled shadows fell upon the ground. This unrestrained wild growth surged through our hearts like a mighty current. The scene inevitably brought Angkor Wat to mind: here, nature and civilization coexist in harmony, while time and humanity intertwine and sustain one another, eventually merging into an inseparable whole. Our design aims to preserve this profound inspiration inherent to the site and weave it into the entire project.

忠实的记录者：捕捉交织的诗意 Faithful Recorder: Capturing Interwoven Poetry
为了留住这份触动，我们花费大量时间驻留场地内外，每一个打动我们的场景，都用相机定格、用素描记录。我们不仅记录下眼前的画面，更试图透过表象，捕捉自然与人文交织背后，那动人的构成逻辑与空间秩序。
▼灵感记录，Inspiration Record
To preserve this profound impression, we spent extensive time lingering across the site and its surroundings. Every striking scene was frozen by the camera and documented through sketches. Beyond merely capturing visible sights, we strove to look beneath the surface, and distill the distinctive compositional logic and spatial order that emerge from the interplay of nature and humanity.

设计策略：秩序化的自然诗意 Design Strategy: Ordered Natural Poetry
我们把功能区布置在环境之中的同时，也将自然生长的力量并置在空间里 —— 就像一对默契的室友，功能需求与自然习性，共同构成了空间的内在秩序。我们发现，当野蛮生长被赋予了温柔的边界，诗意便会在秩序中悄然萌芽。
▼自然生长关系分析图，Natural Growth Relationship Analysis Diagram
We integrate functional areas into the surrounding environment, while juxtaposing the power of natural growth within architectural spaces. Much like two tacit roommates, functional demands and natural instincts jointly shape the inherent spatial order. We have found that once gentle boundaries are endowed to untamed wild growth, poetry will germinate quietly within rational order.

我们不追求惊天动地的设计，在这里，木材会褪色，铁会生锈，石板会长出青苔；我们希望打造一段被自然与诗意包裹的日常，让每一个身处其中的人，都能感受到这份不动声色的动人力量。
We pursue no sensational or dramatic design effects. In this site, timber will fade with time, steel will rust naturally, and bluestone slabs will be covered with moss gradually. We aim to create a daily living space enveloped by nature and subtle poetry. Everyone staying within this place can perceive the understated yet touching power hidden in the interplay between architecture and nature.

折叠的动线：透而不达的风景 Folded Pathways: A Landscape That Is Transparent Yet Unreachable
场地空间有限，我们将动线做折叠化处理，并结合借景的手法，让景致在不同视角与高度下呈现出丰富变化。

Constrained by the limited site space, we adopt a folded circulation layout. Combined with borrowed scenery techniques, the views present diverse appearances from different perspectives and elevations.

生长的设计：空间和自然都需要阳光 Design of Growth: Both Space and Nature Crave Sunlight
经历过不同规模的建筑落地之后，我们相信当理想照入现实，是需要时间和养分的。我们同样也为建筑设计了一个生长计划。以光照条件为核心，我们划分不同等级的阳光场域，匹配植物的生长需求与使用者的活动场景；再通过空间组织，将植物群落与活动功能整合到对应的场域中，实现空间、活动与自然的协同共生。

Analysis Chart of Space and Sunlight Requirements for Plants
Having delivered architectural projects of varied scales, we believe that ideals take time and nourishment to take root in reality. For this reason, we have also devised a growth plan for the architecture. Centering on light conditions, we categorize spaces by sunlight exposure to align with the growth needs of plants and the activity scenarios of occupants. Through thoughtful spatial layout, we integrate plant communities and functional activities into respective zones, achieving harmonious coexistence among space, human activities and nature.

维护和施工：是建筑的一个生长过程。 Maintenance & Construction: The Growth of Architecture
我们不仅将初期的建造视为起点，更把持续的维护也定义为建筑生长的过程。在建设初期，受限于施工条件与预算，我们没有刻意追求工艺的极致完美。石墙不用砌筑得绝对平整，水泥缝也不刻意藏起来；铁件不抛光，就留着它的粗粝。等雨季一过，雨水会慢慢把缝隙填满，水汽会给铁件绣上好看的斑驳。
We regard not only the initial construction as a starting point, but also ongoing maintenance as part of a building’s growth journey. Restrained by construction conditions and budget in the early phase, we did not pursue impeccable craftsmanship. The stone walls are laid without rigid flatness, and cement joints remain exposed. Metal components are left unpolished, retaining their raw texture. After the rainy season, rainwater gradually settles into the crevices, while moisture lends the metal a beautiful mottled patina.

我们相信，施工完成不是结束；维护和时间的痕迹，都是建筑在生长的体现。
To us, construction completion is never an end. Traces of maintenance and the passage of time all bear witness to the architecture’s continuous growth.
