Located in an historical village site of Fujian, Studio ZHU is a renovation project that transforms original four-story "modern Chinese village building" into a boutique guesthouse. Within the original building framework, Design team proposed an interior courtyards strategy that resonates with the traditional housing typological layout of north Fujian area. The interior courtyards serve multiple spatial functions such as program division, introducing natural light to interior and blurring the boundary of inside and outside.
