The construction process of this project eschewed modern construction teams and instead involved local villagers and carpenters who, over the course of one week, assembled the structure on the basis of prefabricated materials, a collaborative effort between architects, local villagers, and indigenous carpenters.
本项目建造过程我们没有借助现代化施工团队，而是由当地的村民、木匠，在预制材料的基础上进行了为期一周的搭建。是由建筑师及在地村民、当地木匠所营造的建筑。

In the roof design, we incorporated elements from the traditional Tibetan architecture, specifically the Han-Tibetan-style eaves structure. Bare aluminum panels not only echoed traditional roofing materials but also enhanced sunlight diffusion through curved shapes, ensuring a more balanced natural light inside.
在屋顶的设计部分，我们也借鉴了传统藏族建筑中汉藏式的飞檐的结构。裸色铝板既呼应了传统建筑的屋瓦，同时也通过圆弧造型来增强阳光的漫反射，使得屋内的自然光线更加的均衡。

For the flooring, we chose red porous bricks as a material that could harmonize with the primitive architecture of the countryside, with the red and black color scheme drawing attention to the entrance.
在踏步材料的选取上，我们选择了红色多孔砖作为一种能够呼应乡村的原始建筑材料。我们希望通过红与黑的撞色，提示人们入口的存在。

在设计概念方面，我们在调研参考了藏族民居的传建筑形态后，希望用可人力搬运的轻薄木构件模拟厚重的砖石砌筑墙体。在外立面形态的设计上也与藏族传统建筑的外立面中倾斜的形态形成呼应。同时鱼鳞般层叠倾斜的外围板，也形成了蜜蜂可自由进出的开口。我们希望用这种轻薄的构建逻辑来呼砖石砌筑建筑，希望在人们看到观蜂小屋后，由这种木建构形态联想到传统藏族建筑的厚重。
In terms of design concept, we drew inspiration from the traditional architecture of Tibetan residences, employing lightweight and thin wooden components to simulate the robustness of brick and stone walls. The exterior design echoed the inclined forms found in traditional Tibetan architecture. The fish scale-like, sloping outer panels created openings for free bee movement. This construction logic with thin wooden elements sought to evoke the solidity of traditional Tibetan architecture when visitors see the Beehive Observation Project.

Our commission was to design a space for showcasing the life of bees and providing visitors with a hands-on honey harvesting experience. Given the fragile ecology of the high-altitude plateau, we prioritized sustainability and local materials in the structural and material choices to minimize impact on the natural terrain. Due to the intense ultraviolet radiation and minimal precipitation characteristic of high-altitude regions, we opted for corrosion-resistant black carbonized wood as the primary building material. The use of black color aimed to blend the structure into the surrounding forest while forming a distinctive black landmark symbol.
我们接到的委托是为游客来进行展示蜜蜂生活和手工采蜜体验，而设计的一个空间建构场所。因为是在原生生态极为脆弱的高原地区，所以我们在基础结构以及材料上采用了更加可持续和在地的方式，尽可能的减少对于地被层的影响和破坏。考虑到高原上极强的紫外线以及极少的降水量，项目整体上采用了耐腐蚀的黑色碳化木，我们希望通过黑色来把建筑隐藏在树林之中，同时它又会形成一个黑色的地标符号。

The Beehive Observation Project is situated amidst the mountains in Jieba Township, Shannan City, on the roof of the world in Tibet. Originally, it was an orchard cultivated by the Tibetan ancestors of Jieba Township 60 years ago and has now transformed into a honey bee foraging area.

Internally, our goal was to create a contradictory ambiance—both transparent and enclosed, reminiscent of a religious sanctuary for bees. In contrast to the external symmetry, the internal layout and functionality displayed an intentional asymmetry. The intention was for observers to perceive symmetry from a distance, only to discover internal asymmetry upon entering.

观蜂小屋项目位于世界屋脊西藏山南市结巴乡的大山之中，由60年前的结巴乡藏族先民所种植开垦的一片果园，现在为一个蜜蜂采蜜园区。

在室内的部分，我们希望营造出一种既通透又封闭的矛盾感，以及像蜜蜂圣殿一般的宗教感。同时，我们的内部相对于外部的对称而言，它会有一种矛盾的不对称性，我们希望当人们从远处看到建筑时，会自然的认为它是一个对称的建筑，但是当走入内部之后，会发现在内部的布局以及功能呈现的非对称性。
