Design of Villagers' Hostel in Two High-quality Characteristic Villages

Wangjiatuan Shi Cun Garden Su Min

This project is located in Wangjiatuan Village, Weihai City, Shandong Province, China. This is a small village with a history of one hundred years. On the one hand, the original pattern of the village is intact, the traditional style is obvious, and it has high cultural and tourism value; On the other hand, with the decline of agriculture and the migration of population, a large number of houses are idle and lack of vitality.

On the premise of retaining rural features and regional characteristics, improve the quality of human settlements, stimulate rural industries and activate villages; It is a proposition that this project tries to explore to meet people's demand for exquisite life while increasing income. As a designer, maybe you can only contribute your strength through design.

Architectural overview

Like the other three groups of buildings completed by the design team in Wangjiatuan Village, "Persimmon Garden" is also a residential renovation project. Before the designer took over, the village had invited people to start the renovation, and some projects had been completed, but due to the lack of design and rough effect, they did not meet the expectations of the owners.

Understand the website

Understanding the website is the beginning of design. The ancients in China called it "fragrant dike". The designer found that the two courtyards to be rebuilt are far away from the road, there are more than 20 meters of open space between the courtyards and the road, and there are a lot of fruit trees in the venue; There is a tunnel between the two courtyards leading directly to the back hill; Tall trees such as persimmon and catalpa are densely planted on the back hill. There is a small clearing cleared by farmers near the building for stacking sundries.

The original building is a typical residential building in Jiaodong: quadrangle form, but not a standard quadrangle, with only the main room and wing on the first floor; Dark gray hanging tiles and rubble masonry walls are thick and gorgeous. Designers especially like the beauty of handwork brought by traditional masonry techniques. It is in sharp contrast with the current rough and disorderly production state, giving people "homesickness" and arousing people's reverie of exquisite life.

Keep the original house and transform it into a guest room, and build a new tea kiosk to increase the spatial level.

Trees, mountains and stones have become important elements outside the buildings in the site, and even more attractive to architects. Mountains are the background, trees are the foreground and important landscape elements, and stones, as the intermediary between man and nature, play a vital role in architectural behavior.

Northern wild garden

The design hopes to create a "wild garden" atmosphere in the northern countryside. Wild means country flavor, not wild; Gardens, not courtyards, should be designed and have a certain "literati atmosphere". Therefore, the trees, mountains and stones found in the process of the first phase are particularly important. They will all be "enjoyed" in the new space and become the main landscaping in the garden.

The gazebo, trees and their reflections in the water form a sense of picture.

During the transformation, the trees in the site were mainly preserved. Trees become the starting point of design. In the initial design, new buildings (including catering and logistics services) avoid trees, and then form independent and series courtyards around trees. There is a positive and negative relationship between houses, courtyards, people and trees, and the relationship between seeing and being seen.

The trees in the venue have been preserved, forming a subtle relationship with the newly-built swimming pool.

But unfortunately, because of the land property rights, the original plan could not land; New buildings are forced to be simplified and appear in the form of landscape structure-pavilions.

Preliminary plan

Landing scheme

"No garden, no water", water can bring gas field to the space and effectively improve the temperature and humidity of the small environment, but the winter in the north is relatively cold, so the treatment of water landscape has become a difficult problem. The water feature of persimmon garden is a shallow pool, about 30 cm deep, surrounded by metal plates. In summer, it is a still pool, which can be emptied in winter and then turned into a playground with sand. The trees in the waterscape are the original trees in the site. The pool is hollowed out here to form two round holes, and the trees protrude from the round holes, which do not interfere with each other and achieve each other.

The fence formed by traditional building technology blends with modern clear water pool.

The pavilion under design is newly built, and two of them are located at both ends of the pool. They provide semi-outdoor use space for residents, and at the same time become scenes and control points in space. The exhibition hall does not simply apply the traditional official form, but strives for modernity and regionality. At the top of a single slope, a window sash with a wooden grille shaft is installed on the base of traditional paving technology. It has no ancient form, but it has a rural flavor.

The treatment of the courtyard wall also adopts traditional regional techniques, such as paving stones and wooden fences. The new stone, the old stone of the old residential wall and the tiger skin stone of the original courtyard wall (by jointing the stone with cement) have formed a time-space dialogue of traditional technology.

The open space at the foot of the mountain behind the building has also been sorted out and become the backyard of the hotel: grass, catalpa bungeana trees and swings, which are private and comfortable.

Dialogue between the Old and the New: Contemporary Embodiment of Rural Life

Spatial arrangement: There are two original stone houses in the site, which were spontaneously built by residents in recent years, which are larger than the traditional buildings in the village, and the spatial layout conforms to the pattern of villagers' self-occupation. Architects re-planned the spatial layout and streamline from the perspective of B&B operation. The original two buildings are divided into four independent B&B suites, each with a big bed and an extra bed, which can meet the functional orientation of "parent-child B&B".

Retain the facade of the original building and use steel members to form a gray space at the entrance.

The architect didn't deliberately keep the elements such as stove and kang in the original residence; On the contrary, it strengthens the public activity space of the hotel, increases the area of the living room (living room), increases the independent bathroom, and skillfully connects the living room and the rest space in series. The appearance of the original residence is completely preserved, and only a steel canopy and a rest seat are added at the entrance to meet the new functional requirements. On the basis of emphasizing comfort, the indoor environment design emphasizes the contrast between the old and the new and the rural nature. The overall space materials are mainly white brushed walls, gray terrazzo floors and oak furniture, and the simple and comfortable indoor space is in sharp contrast with the quaint external environment.

Looking at the bedroom from the living room

On the soft furnishings, the designer chose persimmon red as the main color, echoing the project theme of "Persimmon Garden". As a popular color, red also has auspicious and festive meanings, bringing a jumping atmosphere to the original elegant space. In the choice of furniture, the designer collected a large number of old local furniture, such as old tables and chairs, benches, top boxes and sewing machines, and applied them to the spatial layout, which increased the connection between B&B space and local culture and embodied the theme orientation of "local B&B".

A good homestay is a place where humanity, space and service are intertwined. It needs to adapt to local conditions and reflect local culture and rural life, but it also needs a comfortable living environment and quality accommodation services while providing "homesickness". "Persimmon Garden", as a homestay pilot led by the local government, provides a new perspective for local rural construction, that is, the attitude of "going its own way" has changed to "going its own way", which is an important change on the road of rural tourism development;

Courtyard night scene

After the completion of the project, many people came to Wangjiatuan to repair and transform the damaged farmhouse for self-occupation or operation, which brought new residents to Wangjiatuan village. Driven by the rural tourism industry, the once dilapidated farmhouses are being repaired one by one, and the once dilapidated villages are gradually showing their vitality again.

Su Jia yuan she

Sujia Courtyard is located on the Egret Lake in Moling Street, Jiangning District, Nanjing. Egret Lake is surrounded by mountains, with dense forests on the north bank and verdant mountains on the south bank. The diverse landforms in Jiangning area are an important basis for shaping rural space. There are many types of low mountains, hills, hills, plains and basins, which have the characteristics of water towns in the south of the Yangtze River and hills.

Entering from the narrow entrance of Sujia, descending along the gentle slope and passing through the village center, there are more than 30 villagers in the village. Some abandoned public houses and private houses are planned to arrange small-scale service formats such as Wenchuang Store, Tea House, Sweet Shop, Restaurant and Coffee Bookstore.

Then go straight inside, the water surface gradually opens up, and a lake-Egret Lake gradually appears on the roadside. The water level of the lake is very high, the water surface is almost equal to the road, and it is surrounded by green hills, which is particularly calm and is a quiet and far-reaching landscape picture.

Going to the deepest part, a dilapidated half-height red brick wall appeared on the left hand side, which was covered by an iron gate in the middle. Pushing through the door and stepping up the stairs, there is a single-story courtyard, a group of abandoned old brick-wood houses. On the right rear of the house is a semi-modern house with two roofs. The facade has balconies and tiles, which were in the style of 1970s and 1980s. On the second floor, to the right, there is a small yard, a row of wooden auxiliary houses on the first floor, and a collapsed stone house at the end.

The original house Pinghu was transformed from a group of abandoned public houses by the deepest lake of Egret Lake. The house is in front of the lake and behind the hill, facing the lake and backed by the green forest.

The transformation strategy can be summarized as the "four original" policy: that is, to maintain the "original site, original scale, original landform and original materials" and rebuild.

The original red brick side courtyard on the west side retains and rebuilds a group of suites with yards; The main housing reform is the living room, and a group of white flat-topped houses are added in front of the sloping roof wing; A new guest room will be built behind the main room, with a white sloping roof on the second floor, a restaurant kitchen on the first floor and a guest room on the second floor. The original two-story house behind the living room was preserved and transformed into a guest room; The auxiliary room on the east side of the second floor was restored as it is, and 4 suites were rebuilt.

Entering the original residence, the first part is the main entrance: the original main entrance is adjusted to the west side, and the original entrance facing the lake is reserved as an internal landscape space suitable for staying and resting. Later, a swimming pool was added to this location.

Then enter the reception hall: add courtyard elements at the entrance, enter the small courtyard, and then enter the courtyard. The reception desk is the original main room, which was demolished and transformed into a reception desk and living room with steel structure. The living room faces the lake to the south and terraced hills to the back, so the north is relatively materialized, and the other three sides are as transparent as possible, so you can see the surrounding scenery.

Wing rooms on both sides: the front wing room of the living room is reserved and converted into two rooms, each of which is about 40 square meters, making it a small suite. The roof was replaced by blue tiles and the insulation layer was added, and the previous wooden roof truss was used inside. A one-story flat-roofed building was added to the wing, which was used as two rooms facing the lake, and the area was similar to that of the wing.

This not only retains the pattern of the original courtyard main room and wing room, but also strengthens the space enclosure, reduces the lake surface and enables the living room to see more lakes. Two original cypress trees were kept in the fence and a small swimming pool was added. Swimming pools are especially important for suburban homestays. On the one hand, it can increase the appeal to children in winter and summer vacations. On the other hand, family and group construction account for a large proportion of hotel guests. The swimming pool is a good facility for games and activities.

Behind the building in the front yard of the living room is the backyard, which retains an old house with two-story brick-concrete structure. It was simply renovated, the roof was renovated, and the position of windows was adjusted to meet the living needs. Two staff quarters and linen offices were built on the first floor, and two suites were rebuilt on the second floor. Another two-story guest room is built in the backyard. The first floor is the kitchen and dining room of the whole hotel, and the second floor is the standard room, which is smaller and more compact. Five family rooms with local mezzanine are designed by using space height.

On the east side of the backyard, there is a group of small courtyards surrounded by warehouses. According to the same transformation principle, four rooms were transformed in the original site. The style maintains the traditional sloping roof wood structure. In this way, three groups of courtyards finally appeared, providing more landscapes and venues for activities.

After its opening, Yuanshe Pinghu Hotel quickly became the most popular B&B in Nanjing, with an occupancy rate of over 80%, and won the most popular B&B Gold Award in China ... Behind the success is the systematic and professional operation of the town. On the one hand, the space and atmosphere designed and created also played a certain role. As a scarce high-end hotel different from traditional standard hotels, it has become a new punching place for young people with a friendly family atmosphere and beautiful environment.
