Hotel Hutong, Beijing

Hidden Hotel in Old Beijing Downtown

Reuse of existing buildings, design thinking about a circular economy of materials, and respect the culture and identity of each place, are undoubtedly issues that concern us as architects and mark the beginning of our intervention.

The existing structure is located in the historic centre of the city. It consists of a single level in a rectangular floor plan of 350 m2, of which 105 m2 are used as a patio open to the sky. With a flat topography and building on its four sides, the south-facing courtyard becomes the heart of the building and where community activities occur.
