HOUSE ON THE GREAT WALL

HGW (House on the Great Wall), a private villa born from a underground storage turned into a 4 bedroom house

The property is located in a mountain area near the Great Wall, north of Beijing.

Originally built in the middle of last century as underground storage for fruit trees for the village, the existing structure is built entirely of natural stone and consists of a rectangular volume of 21x11x4 meters.

The client owns a house on the south side of the property, in an elevated position overlooking the roof of the underground storage. The scope of the design was to extend the existing house by turning the storage into a 4 bedrooms residence.

The existing storage is constructed north facing, partially underground in a basin lower than the surrounding. To create a liveable environment for the new residence, a design solution for these particular conditions was required.
