Beijing Courtyard Renovation

Nearby commercial, leisure and everyday services create a walkable working environment. The courtyard layout is retained as design offices become part of the existing neighbourhood.

Daylight patios and corridors improve connections within the existing building. Courtyards and roof structures retain their order, while before-and-after circulation comparisons help bring daylight into deep spaces.

Demolition, installation and spatial changes progressed together. Courtyards and brick walls were retained through repairs, reinforcement and local construction updates. I was responsible for design, client communication and site management, translating changing existing conditions into design adjustments.

Staff, visitor and public routes connect office work, meetings and everyday interaction.

Brick walls and timber roofs retain the traces of time. Local repairs and construction changes extend the existing spaces. Green window frames link courtyard and interior, integrating new office use into the original building.
