基地位于擦石口村内一角，四周栗树成林，群山环绕，位置十分僻静。往北可徒步至长城，穿越摩崖石刻。擦石口长城横卧在东北方向的山峦之颠，从擦石匠即可远望。

The site is located on a secluded corner of Cashikou village, which is located within a mountainous area embraced by a forest of chestnut trees. Walking towards the north one could reach the Great Wall and cliff inscriptions. The Cashikou Great Wall lies on the peak of the north-eastern mountain, which you can see from Cashijiang.

基地是一户坐北朝南的农家院，以矮墙区隔成内院和外院，内院容纳日常生活，外院是菜地，有山泉水自然流经浇灌。

The site contains a farm house facing south, with low walls separating the inner and outer courtyard. The inner courtyard holds daily activities, while the outer courtyard has vegetable fields irrigated by mountain springs.

▼内院生活，inner courtyard

正房建于七十年代，五开间的一堂两室，长 15.5 米，脊高 4.5 米，比例疏阔，砖石砌、大小木作和瓦作都是当地最考究的建筑工法。

正房全貌，The principal house

原室内纸包墙顶，糊单层纸窗，配合火炕，便可过冬，光感柔和。80 公分挑檐，冬季阳光满炕，夏季阴凉宜居。

Originally, the interior walls and ceilings were all covered with paper. Papers were also plastered on windows. With the use of heated kang, it can well survive a severe winter. The 80 cm projecting cornice ensures sufficient sunlight in winter and a cool interior in summer.

Interior of the principal house

小尺度与大环境相处，折射五十年时光，我们期望与内与外产生一种内向的、内在的精细回应。能为坐落在山区中的庄尊老屋进行改造倍感荣幸。

As a small-scale building located within the large-scale environment with 50 years of history, we hope the building could have an intrinsic and sophisticated response to both its interior and exterior conditions. It is a great honor to renovate this supreme principal house in the mountains.

▼改造后的正房，the principal house after renovated

内院的其余建筑全部为新建。通过下沉，减小进深，一层压低檐口等方式，保证北方村院的开阔感，更不减正房的气场。

新建后的内院，东望，within the new inner courtyard, looking east

在二层的两栋建筑之间获得登高的视野。

On the upper platform on second level between two blocks, one can enjoy a higher viewpoint.

Looking out to the sinking courtyard, facing the old house and the east mountain, one could see the sun and its shadow shift overtime.

Looking back from the study

从餐厅穿透门厅望向外院，季替景易。

Looking out from the dining room to the courtyard through the lobby, the scene changes with season.

春/冬，Spring/Winter

书房与北侧村里道路的石头挡土墙留有一个夹缝，形成空间中心明确、且环境幽暗的空间角落。

There is a gap between the study and the stone retaining wall of the northern village road, which helps create a central and dim corner.

▼书房 The study

草地上新添钢板的位置是酒窖入口。

The new steel plate on the grassland indicates the entrance to the wine cellar

内院，inner courtyard

内院保留的水井龙头，水池盆，都是屋主很多年前亲手制作的，我们小心地增加了龙头与水池之间的疏水槽。

In the inner courtyard, the remaining well tap and the water sink were all made by the home owner many years ago. We carefully add a new water channel between them.

▼老物件，old objects

我们将原先的地窖改为酒窖，冬季不冻，夏季天然冰凉。

We turned the original underground vegetable storage into a wine cellar, which can remain non-frozen in winter and cool in summer.

地下酒窖，Underground well cellar

挂上自制的柿布帘，过滤清晨的阳光，冬日撒下一屋饱和的太阳色，叠合进老屋年迈丰富的表情里。

With the self-made orange curtain, in early mornings in winter, the sunlight would be filtered through the curtain and fills the room with orange light, which would also combine into the old house.

外院将原有菜棚和菜地，改造成休憩平台和花园，东侧利用原有储藏室设工坊和接待茶室。

In the outer courtyard, the original vegetable sheds and fields are transformed into resting platform and gardens. On the east side, the original storage is changed into a workshop and a tea room.

外院：雨后花园，outer courtyard：garden after rain

外院平台之上，水槽被架高举起，指向一种仪式。

On the platform of the outer courtyard, the water sink is lifted as if suggesting a sort of ritual.

我们追寻的空间魅力，是一种隐秘的主宰力量、一种朦胧的“深刻”交流。

The charm of space we are seeking is a kind of hidden dominating power and hazy “deep” communication.
