Appreciation towards WAU建筑事务所  for providing the following description:

项目位于粤西吴阳镇的农村，业主是建筑师的父母，他们希望在原宅基地上新建一个能容纳父母及兄弟两个家庭的自建房，同时需遵循农村风水及习俗。这注定了项目不是一个乡村别墅，而是同时具有祭祀功能的家宅。

The project is located in the village of Wuyang Town in western Guangdong. The owners are the parents of the architect. They hope to build a self-built house on the original homestead that can accommodate the parents and two families of brothers, while following the rural Feng Shui and customs. It is destined that the project is not a country villa, but a family house with sacrificial function at the same time.

项目遵循当地三间两廊传统民居的布局原则，有限的场地内中心位置是一个三层通高的具有祭祀功能的“明厅”。所谓“明厅”，是指当地传统民居里没有门的厅，直接与天井相联。通过窄廊进入，放大它的高耸和巨大。非日常尺度让“光宗耀祖、血脉绵续”观念在这极有象征意义的，冗余的空间得以体现。兄弟两个家庭因为回家停留时间短，以独栋极小套间的形式出现，根据尊卑长幼原则分设于二楼东西侧。父母卧室及其他日常功能房间同样遵循“风水”布局围绕着“明厅”展开。

The project follows the layout principle of the local traditional houses with Three-Bay-Two-Corridors. The central position of the limited site is a three-story height “Ming Hall” with sacrificial function. The so-called “Ming Hall” refers to the hall without a door in the local traditional houses, which is directly connected to the patio. Entering through the narrow corridor, its towering and huge feel are amplified. Non-Daily scale make the concept of “honoring our ancestors and continuous blood” to be reflected in this highly symbolic and redundant space. Due to the short stay time at home, the two families of brothers are in the form of a small single suite, which is arranged in the east and west side of the second floor according to the principle of elder and younger. The parents’ bedroom and other daily functional rooms also follow the “Feng Shui” layout and revolve around the “Ming Hall”.

与明厅并置的4个院子，通过二楼的栏杆或山墙不同组合，产生两种不同氛围的空间：明亮的庭院与阴翳的天井，分别种上喜阳和耐阴植物。明厅为高耸、冗余的；院周的空间则压得较为低矮，有檐口的意味。空间高低氛围不同，产生明暗交替的深远。

The four courtyards juxtaposed with the Ming Hall produce two different atmosphere spaces through different combinations of railings or gables on the second floor: a bright courtyard or a shaded patio, planted with sun-loving or shade-tolerant plants respectively. The Ming Hall is tall and redundant; the space around the courtyard is held relatively low, with the meaning of cornice. The different atmosphere of space high and low, the alternation of light and dark, resulting in profound beauty.

楼板采用反挑梁的结构形式，楼板边线与墙体边线重合，互不咬合，空间轮廓明确。楼板与墙体在视觉上是独立分离的，分别产生水平和垂直的延伸感。进一步，在一楼地面，通过隐藏的排水系统，消除室内外的高差，室内外地面同一材质加强了空间的流动性。

The floor slab adopts the structural form of inverted beam, The floor slab edge coincides with the wall edge, does not interlace with each other, and the space contour is clear. The floor slab and the wall are visually independent, creating a sense of horizontal and vertical extension respectively. Further, on the ground floor, through the hidden drainage system, the elevation difference between indoor and outdoor is eliminated, and the same material of indoor and outdoor ground enhances the fluidity of space.

二楼檐口之下，“明厅”临空处的栏杆转化为座凳，二楼卧室的落地推拉窗进一步家具化，推开窗，人可以坐在室内，脚荡在外面，栏杆变成喝茶看书的台子，这些处理手法都试图消除室内外的对立，是建筑基本元素对“深远”这一审美趣味的回应。

Under the cornice on the second floor, the railings near air position are transformed into stools, and the floor-to-ceiling sliding windows of the bedrooms on the second floor are further furniture. When we open the window, people can sit indoors while swinging their feet outside. The railing becomes a table for drinking tea and reading, these treatments all try to eliminate the opposition between indoor and outdoor, which is the response of basic architecture elements to the aesthetic taste of “Profound”.

明暗，高低，干湿的空间对偶处理，让温差产生气流，整个屋子都有习习凉风之感。特别是两个阴翳的天井，施工期间是工人最喜欢待的地方。

Light and dark, high and low, dry and wet, space is dually treated, so that the temperature difference generates airflow, the whole house has a sense of cool breeze. Especially the two shaded patios are the favorite places for workers to stay during construction.
