The 2025 edition of the European Cultural Centre's (ECC) Time Space Existence exhibition in Venice is guided by the mandate to "Repair, Regenerate, and Reuse." Aiming to move beyond surface-level solutions and overused terminology, the exhibition showcases a cohort of practitioners who interpret architecture as an active agent of repair. The most compelling works presented in Venice demonstrate that "repair" is a multifaceted practice, operating across material, social, and historical registers. The varied approaches showcase a shift in the role of the architect, from a master builder and designer of physical objects, to that of a mender, able to combine technology, community, and material intelligence to restore narratives and build stronger cultural systems.

Our project is located in Miyun District, Beijing. The owner intends to renovate the old house in suburban area as the space for family time in weekends. The old house is a typical one tier quadrangle courtyard with one principal building in the north and two wing buildings in the east and west. To accommodate needs for the whole family, we decide to keep the two wing buildings for secondary functions: kitchen, dining room and tea room while demolish and rebuild principle building with two floors for main functions: living room and four bedrooms. We want to create a house that allows people to sit down and chill at any spot, so that they could enjoy the view of courtyard, sky and mountains as time slowly flies, forgetting all the troubles of outside world and relaxing thoroughly.
