Games and B&B. We simultaneously built three concepts for Xiaoxi B&B along the Great Wall at Shuiguan in Huairou, Beijing, at the end of 2020; perhaps it would be more accurate to refer to them as rural hotels rather than B&Bs. I've created and managed similar hotels in the past, and I'd love to live a lifestyle that emphasizes the "now and now" and "breaking away from regular life." Because it contains so little of the owner's real life and memories, architecture, as the bearer of this conception, is not really a "home building" in the first place. Instead, it resembles a "theme park" with the traits listed above, a game that alternates between reality and fantasy. There must be guidelines because it is a game. Simple character preservation is all the owner asks for in her three existing homes. We will also establish the rules.

The Danger and the Great Wall. The Ming Dynasty's Great Wall is nearby, making the location special. I'm more or less reluctant since the attractive qualities have developed into a force that cannot be resisted. I have a tendency to look for the emotional connection between objects and people. How does the Great Wall touch, though? by virtue of its superhuman status. Like the Egyptian pyramids or the Nasca Lines, it was not created by a human being who was willing to communicate with God. "Danger" is where the Great Wall came from. We picked the most "hazardous" mountain out of dread of "danger."

Harrierfall, Act I The Great Wall was extended by Harrier Castle during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty. These winding roads are necessary for the "Beijing knot" route. Its name comes from the many hauntings of raptors that have occurred there since antiquity. More than a dozen families continue to reside there despite it no longer serving a military purpose. Despite the numerous times the houses have been rebuilt, the 300-year-old ancient locust trees and 600-year-old castle stone continue to evoke images of bygone eras in our memories. The stone castle wall may be seen in the distance along the three meter wide country road. With an arched doorway on the south, the wall is four to five meters high. Although the ancient locust tree faces the castle gate directly, it is difficult to locate our home. It conceals at the end of a narrow path; turn left and right. In a game, the initial "risk" should also be concealed, and the initial feeling should be one of comfort and confidence.

Scene 1: Turn Off the Light. The gate to the courtyard lies at the end of the little alley, and behind it is a tiny attic constructed on the roof. The attic appears to be a lamp waiting kindly between the gate and the beacon tower when the pink inner wall reflects the red light in the evening. Every time Ye Wen returned home after a late night out in The Grand Master, he would invariably notice a light that his wife had left, indicating that someone was there. This tacit understanding also stands for "life" and "home."

Scene 2: Lying Back and Observing When we entered the gate, the original courtyard was unoccupied, so we let the building's eaves to spread out to create a roomy hallway that is appropriate for sitting beneath. On the one hand, the lowered eaves provide a more stable environment and divide the upper and lower inside perspective. The solid wood open fans below provide warmth and a link to the yard, while the top frame view looks out over the Great Wall. In order to provide a tranquil view out the window, indoor furniture is lower in height and the area where people sit or lie down even descends to be closer to the ground. Reduce your posture, alter your viewpoint, and appreciate the beauty of your body's additional potential.

Scene 3: The Ancient Locust Tree's Invitation. I'm willing to let the old locust tree in the castle's courtyard into the yard because I particularly appreciate it. The eaves on the west side were raised to a level that both covered the debris and revealed the tree's crown. Silver metal corrugated perforated plates that cover the surrounding structures cover them in a way that purifies the background while flickering hazily. On the east side, a modest two-story structure totally opens up above the corrugated metal. The ancient locust's green shadow in the glass curtain wall becomes more noticeable in the absence of any other plant decorations in the courtyard, luring people to climb the building to take in the view.
