先生的院子吉家大院

本项目坐落在陕西韩城市，由老城区遗留的明清民居群改建而成。是以关中庭院文化为基础的艺术主题中式民宿（餐饮）——先生的院子吉家大院。既有古典样式的传承，又有现代风格的呈现。一个精致的休闲之所、一个清雅的艺术之境、一颗传统与现代共同孕育的氛围。臻于细节、卓于内涵的吉家大院，融汇艺术创意与休闲生活，将为您揭开古朴老宅和现代精致的另一面。

项目是两个前后三进的四合院组成。这些建筑既有强烈的关中四合院风格又受晋南文化的影响，别具特色。在设计中把多个独立的院落巧妙横向连接，使其成为一个整体空间，行走其中动线合理又富有节奏感是设计亦是面临的挑战。各个院落之间的落差也是对设计的考验，处理好这些落差空间层次也更加鲜明。现代简约的门窗结构和老建筑相得益彰。

将喧嚣的都市过渡至幽静的宅院空间。青砖地面、原石踏步、青石台阶辅以顽石、青竹、流水、木做、小瀑，灯光勾勒的行人步道，将不同的功能空间连接起来。傍晚时分，院子在富有层次的光影中，令人体验到时光交错，昔日重来的感觉。

This project is located at Han Cheng City, Shaanxi Province, reconstructed from building group remained in the old town since Ming and Qing dynasties, which is a Chinese style B&B hotel(including catering) based on an artistic theme of courtyard culture in the central Shaanxi plain. Its name is The Ji Family’s Courtyard under the Chain brand of Mister’s Courtyard. This architectural complex not only inherits an ancient manner, but also exhibits a modern style, which is a delicate space for relaxation, an aesthetic site for appreciation and also a residence bred by tradition and modernity. The Ji Family’s Courtyard, devoted in detail and combined with artistic creativity, will reveal you a brand-new living experience infused with primitive simplicity and modern delicacy.

This building group is constituted by two quadrangle dwellings with three doors at both front and back. It has a strong Guan Zhong Style and also has a trait of being influenced by South Jin Culture. In design, several independent courtyards are connected laterally into an integral space. The designer has faced a challenge of  making the route inside reasonable and dynamic. The drop structure is another challenge for the designer, since the appropriate drop structure makes the space gradation distinct and beautiful. Otherwise, the modern simplistic structure of doors and windows and the old buildings achieve complementarity.

Moving from noisy city to peaceful courtyard, you can find that the green brick ground, scree road, bluestone steps and various manufactured landscapes, like rockeries, bamboos, carpentries, waterfalls and lamps are linked into a long footpath, connecting those small yards with different functions. In the evening, the whole yard is shrouded by stratified shadow, giving people an illusion of space alternating and time coming back.
